God's heels

The Native American shamans who lived in America were nomads, and they built a dwelling along the way, without being tied to a specific place. 
The Indians considered their God to be a great Spirit who could manifest himself in various guises. 
Leaving the area of their former existence, people left behind "fingerprints" - traces in the form of things, utensils, entire houses. Along with each such object, a trace of his spirit was preserved. 

The project uses wooden planks that were part of the house of the artist's great-great-grandmother, built in the 1910s. I haven't been home for a long time, but I still have the presence of Mind.

*The work is a project completing a course in contemporary painting at the Pratt Institute, New York, USA.
