From the Path: Today’s Reflections
I ran into the woman from yesterday again today, and we both started laughing about our road misunderstanding almost immediately.
This time, someone nearby who spoke both Spanish and English joined the conversation. I explained what I thought I'd heard yesterday. The woman explained what she had actually been trying to tell me, and our accidental translator filled in the pieces neither of us had been able to communicate.
It turned out there was more to the story than either of us had understood. The road itself was never really the interesting part. What stayed with me was how quickly everything changed once there was someone between us who understood both sides. Yesterday the conversation had felt frustrating. Today the exact same conversation became funny. And finally, we all understood one another.

Artwork note
The artwork for this first edition of Quni Samiyuq was created with generative AI under my direction. I developed the concept, symbolism, composition, and visual direction for each card through an iterative process.
