Description: On T-46 of Chicano Park, an embryo develops amidst a male figure (left) and a female (right). Beneath it, maize sprouts from a Teotihuacan-like pyramid. A white aquiline silhouette rests between the woman and the child. "Symbols represented: man, woman, unborn child, corn, pyramid, white eagle, the future Raza, the first food substance establishes civilization in the western hemisphere, pyramid, mathematics, city planning, astronomy, spiritual values" Salvador Torres. Restored 1990-02 for water damage and graffiti.
