Corn Pollen Path
Navajo teachings say that all life forms comes from yellow pollen. This is a portrait of a young Navajo Woman offering corn pollen to the Holy People. Normally when an offering is made the pollen falls to the ground, but I chose to make the pollen go in a spiral direction. The spiral is also a scared symbol to the Navajo. It is said that our spirit enters our bodies through the spiral pattern on top our heads, known as the cowlick. Spiral patterns are everywhere, they appear on our fingertips, in plant growth and in the formation of the galaxies. So for me adding the spiral to this portraiture has a significant meaning.
