PATHMAKER HUIPIL AT GALERIA6

PATHMAKER was beautiful before the installation, I almost believed it was enough, but given its own room and some props, it became more of perhaps what it wanted to be all along. The tree planted on the viewer's left side creates a space to mentally enter into, to contemplate the safety, or the wisdom, of walking beneatH those branches, into whatever may lie beyond. The lone figure is reading a quote written on the wall:

"You enter the forest 
at the darkest point, where there is no path.

Where there is a way or a path,
it is someone else's path.
You are not on your own path."

-Joseph Campbell, The Hero's Journey   

A tumbleweed, an old suitcase covered in dry leaves and a large hat offering shade from a harsh sun propose the possibility of a long sojourn.

Are you ready to take the step?
