The Circle
As a pure geometrical perspective, a circle represents the non-Euclidian infinite flow. For Lakota people and First Nations in North America the circle represents the Hocokah. A place to share one’s journey where everybody learns from another’s experience and all beings are interrelated. A moment when your story alongside others creates a larger narrative. The narrative that forms places, friendship, community or the small things that make life an enjoyable journey.
