The Coatlicue State

The Coatlicue State is a concept in Mexican culture derived from the Aztec goddess Coatlicue, representing duality and transformation. It symbolizes the balance between life and death, creation and destruction. In a broader sense, the term often reflects periods of challenge or crisis that lead to significant change and renewal. In philosophy and art, it embodies the idea that out of chaos and hardship, new growth and understanding can emerge, much like a phoenix rising from the ashes. This duality invites introspection on overcoming adversity and embracing transformation.
