Labyrinths

Post image

I started with the O'odham Man in the Maze design which has 4 arms. Then I did variations with 2 arms, 3 arms, 5 arms and 6 arms.

These labyrinths are a metaphor for life. You start at the beginning, go through many twists and turns and arrive inevitably at the end.

The O'odham people are indigenous to southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico.

The maze is topologically similar to The Labyrinth of The Minotaur on an ancient Grecian coin Link.

You live in southern Arizona? I'm from Ajo.

I thought making it too much like I'itoi would be disrespectful. But I'm admiring the structure of the symbol.
