Land Acknowledgement

I am honored and privileged to live, work, and create art in the ancestral territory of my friends—the Miccosukee, Seminole, and Independent Native peoples—who have lovingly cared for this sacred place for countless generations. Their enduring connection to the Everglades, rooted in wisdom, stewardship, and resilience, inspires gratitude and reverence, reminding us of our shared responsibility to protect and celebrate this unique and vital ecosystem.
Kiane, kiane.
