william cordova's trans-disciplinary practice reflects his interest in Peruvian cosmology, Andean architecture, metaphysics, and contemporary media. Influenced by his own experience living, working, and moving between his hometown of Lima, then New York and Miami, cordova's work considers the varying cultural and economic systems enacted within shifts in time and space. The specific interactions of geometric forms and cosmological bodies open ideas of design, ritual, resistance, and spirituality.

In his "rumi maki" series, william cordova takes on an ethnographic approach in addressing shared symbolism found in textile data encoding and architectural design. Named after the ancient Andean martial arts, "rumi maki" consists of multi-colored collages on paper, constructed from vivid layers of recycled paint chips. The arrangement of colors and patterns carry latent meanings, dependent on geography, culture, and the readings of celestial bodies.
