OJO DE DIOS

Created image for project 2016

EYE OF GOD

Ojo de Dios is a weaving meditation mandala, à sacred art object many Native American People's make them.

Used for protection and purification and as portals between the spiritual and material worlds.

Ojo de Dios weaving is a craft that involves weaving a colorful design from yarn onto a cross-shaped stick. The name translates to "Eye of God" in Spanish. The Huichol people of Mexico originally created the craft as a spiritual tool for protection and prayer. The Huichol called their God's Eyes Tsikuri, which means "the power to see and understand things unknown".

BACT Family Emblem

This Ojo de Dios was the first one I made in 2015.

In 2020 our COVID KITTENS spent most of their days growing up chasing the feathers on it. It eventually got destroyed completely as they grew bigger.

The BACT Family Emblem can now only be used online.

The video below is of the BACT Family Emblem and the COVID Kittens Family.

What is a Stereogram.

A stereogram is an optical illusion of depth created by a flat, two-dimensional image. But if you view the image in a particular way, the three-dimensional image reveals itself in an uncanny way. But getting the hidden image within a stereogram to reveal itself takes a couple of tries to master.
