The creative practice weaves together Indigenous perspectives, land and place, art, media, and technology. Guided by cultural navigation, cultural protocols, and Indigenous ways of being, the work engages relationships between culture, people, land, sound, embodiment, and digital space. Rooted in ancestral connections and the continuity of creative legacies, the practice seeks to create works through image-making, sound, spatial audio, mapping, and immersive media that move between tradition and innovation, physical and digital experience, while reflecting on the interconnected systems that shape shared existence.Jóhonaaʼéí is a Diné being and cultural presence connected to emergence, movement, continuity, and relationships to land, space, and existence.
