Ofrenda - Elena Orlando

Patterns of Change by Elena Orlando. With this ofrenda, I wanted to represent the many lessons about social change and relationality that exist within nature. Fractals, complex patterns in nature created through repetition, are present in this ofrenda through shells, salt and smoke. By starting with small interactions, interdependence and love can expand to create new possibilities for the future. In this spirit, this ofrenda was built to honor the life and work of Octavia Butler.
