Symbolic representation of Ditsö̀, the Bribri concept of genetic material as the origin of life. A glowing spiral emerges from the earth, containing seed-like embryos, from which plants, animals, insects, and humans arise in harmony. The deer is integrated within the spiral, reflecting the interconnectedness of all beings. Image by Alí García Segura.
