About

This sculpture represents our common ancestors from the motherland, who watch over and unite us. There will be five ancestors, each 10 feet tall, standing in a circle of energy. The space is a place of protection and spirituality. It is meant to unify us and make us feel safe in communing with our ancestors. While standing inside the circle, people can pull ancestral knowledge and wisdom from the Earth.
