This artwork draws inspiration from The Haudenosaunee Creation Story.

The turtle serves as a representation of Turtle Island, a name often associated with North America in traditional narratives.

In envisioning a positive and liberated future, I believe it is essential to address and dismantle elements of ego and patriarchy. Therefore, I chose to feature an indigenous woman or Mother Earth as the central figure.

The halo symbolizes mycelium, further emphasizing these themes and our interconnectedness.

Additionally, the border reflects the significance of peyote, representing resistance and the journey toward liberation.

This piece delves into themes of spirituality and the deep connections that unite all living beings.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to @sjk_240 for the opportunity to participate in Sacred Evolutions at @omnihum gallery. Thank you for this wonderful experience.
