Painted by Oaxacan artist Alonso Chávez on Calle Macedonio Alcalá—the city’s main cultural artery—this mural embodies the region’s deep dialogue between life, death, and transcendence. A human skull, crowned with white morning glories, symbolizes mortality, while two radiant hummingbirds, sacred in Mesoamerican belief as messengers between worlds, burst forth with vibrant color and motion. The inscription “Sé que Dios nunca muere” evokes Oaxaca’s beloved traditional song, affirming eternal spirit and resilience. Set against a deep crimson wall, this mural stands as a public altar, blending indigenous symbolism with contemporary street art, and offering passersby a meditation on faith, beauty, and the eternal cycle of life.
