Crystal Skull wasn’t inspired by the Indiana Jones movie—although I do enjoy it—but by the ancient legends that existed long before the film. According to the myths, mysterious crystal skulls have been discovered throughout Peru—artifacts so precisely crafted that even modern archaeologists struggle to explain how they could have been made with the tools available at the time.

Regardless of whether the myth is true, the deeper symbolism of the crystal skull remains powerful. It represents untapped human potential—intuition, clairvoyance, telekinesis, and higher states of consciousness. In my interpretation, I depicted the skull as illuminated and charged, radiating energy as though it holds a hidden, unaccessed potential waiting to be awakened.
