The Aztecs
Crikey, after some quite difficult stories, where visuals were rich and diverse, and hard to pin down, the Aztecs sems so obvious – it’s all about the sacrifice, the contrast of savagey and society. It’s an obvious image to go for, the “perfect sacrifice”, and I’ve added the hint at some rectilinear structures in the background – the story is, too, a tribute to engineering and design. I’ve rotated the body so as to create a better tension – is the torso prone, vulnerable, or raised in an act of worship?
