About the Artwork: This piece is called Ch'il lah dei, it is Navajo for the place where smoke escapes the traditional hoghan, or home. It represents the place of emergence, where our prayers escape to reach the Creator. Many nights, as the elders taught and told stories, looking up through the hole to see the stars and milky way makes you aware of the large expanse of life, the universe, and the world we live in.
