Olokun Cosmogram collage, a visual depiction of the cosmos, adapted in symbolizing the cosmographic coordinates actualized by the Oba's coronation progression and their adaptability beyond the coronation, representing points of departure and consummation in relation to spatio-temporal and psychological frameworks orientred towards ultimate reality.
Elegance and associative force come together in this Olokun cosmogram, a collage created as a visual depiction of the cosmos. It is adapted, in this context, in symbolizing the cosmographic coordinates actualized by the Oba's coronation progression.
The central image depicts the initiatory progression of a person being inducted into Olokun mysteries and it comes from Norma Rosen's redrawing of Benin Olokun chalk art in "The Initiation of a Priestess: Performance and Imagery in Olokun Ritual" with Joseph Nevadomsky. The two igha-ede, circles bisected by radiating lines, are used, among other purposes, in indicating the division and convergence of material and spiritual space and time, in relation to infinity. They are from Rosen's rendition of Olokun chalk art in her "Chalk Iconography in Olokun Worship".
The concentric circles bisected by vertical lines at the top and bottom of the symbol may connote a point of departure at the bottom and a point of consummation at the top, representing the Crown Prince's movement from his palace at Uselu to his eventual crowning as Oba and the completion of the coronation ceremonies represented by his subsequent movement into his palace in Benin.
The motion evoked by the vertical lines rising from and into the concentric circles, in tandem with the spatio-temporal coordinates projected by the igha-ede symbols, indicate the correlation between the royal progression and the human quest for ultimate meaning actualized through an engagement with the parameters of one's experiences at a point in time and space.
The concentric circles at the bottom may also stand for one's spatio-temporal location and its psychological and social framework and the circles at the top for the ultimate reality one strives to orient oneself towards. The intersecting lines at the mid-point of the vertically ascending lines evoke climatic points in the progress of this orientation, a progression also suggested by the ladder on the right.

This is why you should always carry a camera.
Went to the KC main library to return 3 Route 66 books and forgot that these guys were in town making this incredible sand art. What a surprise. Make sure to go inside places when you can, even if they have a drop box.

Collage evoking terrestrial progression within cosmographic coordinates, as actualized by the coronation ceremonies of the Oba of Benin.
The central image in the collage is Nosa Ekpenede Idubor's depiction of the footprints of the Home Leopard, the Oba of Benin, in his coronation journey from Uselu to Ekopagha. On this central form are superimposed examples of Benin Olokun chalk as recreated by Norma Rosen in "Chalk Iconography in Olokun Worship", top and bottom, and by Iro Eweka in "Olokun Symbols”, middle.
Spatio-temporal coordinates are traversed by the coronation pilgrimage at the intersection of matter and spirit, of time and eternity, of the divine and the human.
The igha-ede recreated by Rosen evokes these conjunctions of diverse but complementary modes of being. The Olokun symbol reproduced by Eweka conjoins these synergies in terms of an evocation of solar illumination representing the invigoration of being by the human/divine matrix of the Oba, Olokun and Osanobua.
