By continuing to practice using Tohono O’odham symbolism and designs in my art I believe I will bring awareness about our culture to the world. Using desert animals like turtles, horned toads, lizards as well as desert landscapes allows the viewer to experience the connectivity of the relationship of our people have with the land and everything that inhabits it. In our cosmology, everything has a spirit- the natural features of our landscape and all the animals that inhabit it have a place in maintaining the balance of the universe.
