Artist Statement
There is a celestial plane that exists far beyond Mother Earth called Sky World, where Hodinöhsö:ni’ people originated from. Guided by Reflections takes the form of the Hodinöhsö:ni’ sky dome symbolizing these two worlds.
Mother Earth is depicted as a wooden dome, embodying the ever-lasting life cycle and everything growing on earth. It is adorned with the sky dome design, which is commonly found in Hodinöhsö:ni’ beadwork, pottery and textiles.
Using augmented reality, the Celestial Tree grows from the top of the dome rendering a glimpse into Sky World, offering healing to the waters below. The reflections of Earth and Sky World on the water provide moments of pause and mindfulness.
Guided by Reflections is a reminder that everything in the natural world is interconnected and we have a collective responsibility to honour and care for these gifts to ensure the continuance of future generations.
