The Poem is a fire-hunt, the Poet an animal charmed in one spot, eyes fixed to the light. My precursor attracts me to my future. Fixed purpose is the free spirit of fire. Conversion of consciousness —metamorphosis, may be a flight into wordlessness. Creation was never possession.

Susan Howe, My Emily Dickinson

“Semilla de Sol” (English translation: Seed of the Sun) by Santiago Robles (b. 1984 in Mexico City) is about so many things—the conjugation of confrontation, juxtaposition of two ancestral figures related to the feminine and the masculine, multiple meanings of the seed and the sun as the origin of life and the ideal of civilization, and pre-Hispanic magical-mythological thought and overwhelming intervention of American culture in Latin American society and imagination. In “Semilla de Sol,” Mexico appears as an ambiguous, contradictory and amorphous community, without a legible face or voice, and corn appears as a transvestite in Virgin Mary, War Granada, Cosmic Uterus, Transgenic Machinery, Seer Hand, Ixcamacuane and Death.

Just as water is associated with the earth, the wind is associated with the sun; here is the permanence of life; copulation, agriculture and miscegenation; the fertilization of a people and the cultivation of a destiny: water man, earth man, wind man, fire man, corn man, sun seed. (Summarized from Texto publicado originalmente en la versión impresa de la revista Tierra Adentro, agosto 2015, página 67).

Weaving many stories between imageries and texts, Robles invites the viewers to take all that in to process and investigate all these multiple meanings.
