This Punk is inspired by CryptoPunk #2356 and artworks of Malevich. We decided not to change the color palette so that it is exactly the same as the one used in the original punk. However, this does not change the fact that the colors themselves are endowed with meaning. For example, purple in painting means wealth, treasure and at the same time mystification. It is used to describe something unnatural, another nature. Similarly, the entire history of the Mayan civilization is full of unsolved riddles, mysteries, and hypotheses

The design of this Punk - the arrangement, structure and composition of the figures on the canvas - were borrowed from the planning and organization of the ancient Mayan temples. We took the top view of other temples - and we saw similar features in many temples. To create the structure, we chose the top view of the temple . Why the top view? Because this Punk is not from the present, it is an echo of the past.

That is why we decided to depict it as if on a plane - just as all the power and greatness of ancient civilizations remained "flat" for us in a sense, and we can recreate it only in our imagination. Volumetric objects have a kind of energy that makes them alive, bringing them closer to us, which is not the case with flat objects. We wanted to enhance the effect of memories, of something long dead. That's why the elements around the Punk are scattered in a chaotic way. They remind us of the ruins of a once great temple. Just as now we look at the greatest civilization through the rubble and broken stones.

We have identified certain features of Mayan temples that are consistent in many of them. First, as a rule, the shape of the base is a perfect square. By design they are several such squares overlapping each other. Clearly in the middle of each side are four staircases pointing in the four directions of the world.

In this work the Punk’s cap is depicted in the form of the aforementioned ladders. In order to be similar to the original punk, we have moved the square of the face a bit down, but the main features remained equally vertical in the center. So the mirrored punk will be the same. In its own way, this punk is a palindrome. (A palindrome is a number or less often an object that is the same when read from left to right and vice versa) Moreover, the whole Punk is made up of 121 figures. The number 121 is also a palindrome. The same number is the product of two other palindromes - 11 x 11.
