A Mayan midwife is realized in cedar atop a pinewood base. Guatemalan artist Nicolas Chavez Sojuel hand-carves this sculpture, detailing the midwife's elaborate jewelry and headdress. She sits with legs crossed, a child held close to her breast. For the artist, this sculpture presents a view of quotidian Mayan life, as the midwives would often take their children along with them as they worked.

"So they took turns to sleep and if they saw soldiers approaching they'd wake me up and I'd escape through the false door we built, and run to the hills. Back then, I was only 20 years old."
