Interdisciplinary practitioner william córdova is interested in the ephemeral nature of materiality across space and time. Integrating sacred geometry and rhythmic abstraction with references to non-Western spiritual systems and artistic movements, córdova's work opens a pathway to a shared network of image, sound, and revolutionary memory.

The multicolored "untitled (chronicles de pacha)" is composed of acrylic and oil paint, ink, and paint chips, arranged in geometric patterns at varying scales. The formation and repetition of the patterns echo structures found in the built and natural world, and the iterative quality of ritual practices. The title "pacha" refers to the conception of space-time in Andean cosmology. In ancient Incan mythology, the cosmos were divided between three realms, or pachas—hanan pacha (the upper world, of the gods), kay pacha (the world of human beings), and uku pacha (the underworld, realm of death and new life). These realms are distinct, but connected through physical features and temporal correlations between past, present, and future.
