Nanibah Chacon's sculptures draw out the visual similarities between the sand paintings of Diné (Navajo) gods and electrical towers used by coal refineries on the Navajo Nation. By setting these forms in dialogue, Chacon seeks to transform environmental blight into a new narrative. After the Biennial closes, one of the sculptures will be installed on the land of the Navajo Nation.
