THE ZENITH, 2022

The zenith is the imaginary point directly “above”… opposite of the gravity point below, it’s the highest point on the celestial sphere. This photograph features George Alexander (Mvskoke Creek) floating in a field of indigenous white corn strung up on a fishing line in “space”. A lighthearted composition addressing the futurity of our precious foodways—in an indigenous future, we take our past with us. We remember that while life and culture is always changing, some things are ever-permanent.
