Our Roots 2
Our Roots 2 is grounded in the earth, with the veins of life travelling through like sap. In one corner is the first family of people, in harmony with the animals they hunt and eat, as well as respect. On their backs they carry firewood. In the far right hand corner is//Kabbo, the shaman who passed on many of these stories to be collected and kept in book form for future generations.
Behind them, representing a different plane of existence, are the beings who make up the ethereal universe, the Rainbull, the Girl who makes stars, the sun in its early stage of creation, the moon with the hare, representing the origin of death, and the Mantis, the ever-present being who represents the Trickster God, or the elusive nature of life itself.
