Solution

If you visit Chichen Itza on spring equinox you can witness the phenomenon of see how the god Quetzalcoatl comes down the stairs of the temple/pyramid. The design of this pyramid was realized by the Mayan architects who dominated the knowledge of the stars and in particular of the sun; they placed the pyramid so that its shadow could project to the sides of the stairs resembling a serpent descending. That is why I represent the feathered serpent, the sun and the pyramid.

Which place, city and country is featured in your design? (place/city/country)

Chichen Itza/Yucatán/México

Describe why you have chosen this place as a visual? What story does your design tell?

As a Mexican I really love my culture and I think that the representation of one of the most important gods in the mayan mythology is a good idea. For me, the feathered serpent represents force, courage and freedom; features that an adventurous person needs. And thas what Victorinox's Knife means, ADVENTURE. My design is a bit of Mayan mythology. The god Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent, descending the steps of the pyramid at the equinox spring, which takes place in Chichen Itza
