Photographer and filmmaker Duwawisioma (Victor Masayesva Jr.) has been on a lifelong quest to understand the ideas of “existence” and “being” in terms of Hopi ancestral traditions in the modern world. Màatakuyma, meaning “now it is becoming clearer to me” in the Hopi language, represents this continuing quest. Featuring images created throughout Duwawisioma’s long career, Màatakuyma highlights aspects of Hopi culture, history, language, metaphysics, and agricultural practices through complex, layered compositions and juxtapositions of color.
