Description
‘Aho, Mitakuye Oyasin’

Aho is a Native American word. In Lakota it means "hello" in Kiowa it means "thank you," and in Cherokee it is used at the end of a prayer similar to the use of "amen," often accompanied by "Mitakuye Oyasin." (pronounced mi-TAHK-wee-a-say or Mee-tah-koo-yay Oy-yah-seen) The use of this term has been adopted by some New Age groups and is said by a group following a statement by one person, indicating agreement. Some people follow ‘aho’ by using the Lakota expression Mitakuye Oyasin. This is used in many Lakota prayers and means, "We are all related."
The images in my art here are diverse in time, space and spirit. They defy both time and space. They reflect that all humans and plants as well as any animal or energies, are related.
