About The Artwork

Hózhó is the central principle of Diné philosophy — beauty, balance, and right relationship with oneself and the world. Littleben wove this piece during the pandemic as a response to that period's anxiety and uncertainty, using weaving to quiet her mind and reconnect with her ancestors and their teachings. The textile is both record and instrument: it traces a journey from chaos toward harmony, and it was the means by which that journey was made.
