Ata

Ata in Turkish means ancestor. All those who came before us and carved the way so we could become.

Some are carved into our memories, beautifully or fiercely, and some are forgotten. I made this series to remember and honor them all, the earthly, the divine, and the chosen.

They arrived on the land we now dwell on and began writing our story long before we arrived.

The Mother and the Father

They came to me as a pair. When I first set my pencil to the bristol, I did not know what they were. The gestures flowed, and the forms asked me to deepen them. I leaned them against the wall and stepped back 5 feet. The three of us found each other, eye to eye. A calm compassion. Personalities woven into the pencil carvings, flows that were abstract yet somehow conscious. As I kept sculpting them on my screen, they told me how to transmute further, which colors and textures they wanted to wear. When I printed Ḫašḫa, painted her, and assembled her into being, I could feel she was ready for her role. A talisman of compassion. Where divine love meets authentic power.…

Attaš is not yet built. He is calling me to pull him into reality, so that is next.

Ḫašḫa

(Mother)

Ḫašḫa, the Divine Birth Giver. I shaped her name from ancient Hittite, from the Anatolian landscape, 4 thousand years of wisdom folded into a sound.…

A mother never truly parts from her children. She carries their stem cells for the rest of her life, and a fragment of each soul's imprint.

She is the vessel that grows their vessel, keeping the soul safe until the child joins earthly life. And later, she keeps her children in her voice, in her tears, in her eyes, as jewels on her crown.

I created this talisman to represent and amplify divine compassion.

Attaš

(Father)

The father, grounded, just, holding the family steady.

Commission

Karuilieš

(Ancients)

Karuilieš, the ones of old, in Hittite. They came to me as a group, and as I sketched them we began forming a relationship.…

I could feel how old they were. Beyond ancient.

They did deeds worth remembering, elders who kept the wisdom that keeps life flowing. They have been forgotten for a very long time.

Through these pieces they wake once more, and ask to be remembered. Talismans of life, protection, and compassion.
