These artworks could be seen as playmate/explorers discovering the highs and lows of the world. They are like guides into the cosmology of a Universe at Play. For them the stakes are not do-or-die, because they know the dead are also at play. The rules of the game are unwritten and intuitive, but values like fairness, inclusiveness, health, joy, and a heightened awareness apply universally. “Take joy and Be aware”, they say.
