Totem

Totem poles: Not to be worshipped, but to show where you're from and what your values are. They tell mythological stories that are in connection with the family or group the totem is for or about. It's also used for communicating with strangers coming to town. The totem poles will show the stranger what and who he's dealing with.

The totem elements are always nature and animal based. Every animal or element representing a strength and/or a value. Those values show what's important to them. What is important in our society today, what are our values?



What would a modern totem pole of our society look like?

Well, that's what I'm doing!

The totem pole can be printed on any material, to be put in a public space
It can be loose segments, so you can built up your own totem pole
Or as a pattern, printed on clothing, so that you can wear it.
