Mola Unseen Trajectories

These textiles use Google Earth elevation charts to represent time and displacement on nontraditional maps. These visual maps are transformed and activated as an indigenous expression of power. The materiality of the molas represent a material embodiment of indigenous cosmology. The reverse applique layers of fabric represent a spiritual labyrinth which can repel and trap evil spirits within their patterns.
