“Good air” (finished 4-29-20) victory mask. I used my Dad’s sinew thread to sew part of mask, he passed away in 2002. Sacred colors, shapes, spiritual memories and ancestors are part of the story of the now time I am living. Wellness and respect to all.

This mask was created for the Breathe community Facebook group – A collection of traditionally crafted masks demonstrating resiliency through 21st century pandemic.
