Martínez’s incised metal Three Rivers Petroglyph features motifs from the Three Rivers Petroglyphs Site in New Mexico, a location where thousands of petroglyphs from the Jornada Mogollon people still exist today. Martínez frames the composition, like a stele, around a found object, bringing the mundane into a new context that explores the cultural significance of objects on a collective, ancestral, and individual level. This combination reflects the continuity of storytelling across time, emphasizing how history, identity, and materials shape our understanding of the present.
