Valley of the Sun (Teotihuacán), 2025
35 mm giclèe print on Baryta paper
8 inches by 20 inches
Limited Edition of 10, Signed Front
Valley of the Sun was created on the Avenue of the Dead leading to the Pyramids of the Moon and Sun in Teotihuacán, Mexico in October 2025. The Pyramids at Teotihuacán are part of an ancient ceremonial center of a city dating back 1,900 years to the first century CE. At its height, the city is estimated to have had as many as 125,000 people. It predates Aztec civilization by several centuries. In fact, in the Aztec language, Teotihuacán means "the place where gods were created." Even well after the original inhabitants were gone, the reverence to its spiritual power and purpose remains. The structures are recognized for their adherence to cosmic harmony and planetary positions.
This work is from "The Land Sings of A Dream," Niama Safia Sandy’s new series of experimental film photographs. The images offer abstracted, dream-like scenes connected to energetic resonance at Global Black Diaspora and Indigenous historical sites related to liberation and cultural activity.
