Michael Namingha (Ohkay Owingeh, Hopi). Disaster #8, 2025. Silkscreen and enamel on canvas.

“In 2022, New Mexico recorded the largest forest fire on record, the Hermits Peak Fire. The fire burned over 341,000 acres over a period of five months. The fire started during a forest service prescribed burn. New Mexico and many western states are experiencing some of the worst drought seasons on record due to climate change, contributing to increasing wildfires. Disasters depicts a pyrocumulonibus cloud, a massive anvil shaped storm cloud created by smoke and intense heat from fire, a volcanic eruption, or nuclear explosion. This series depicts the could in different states of growth over the course of a day. Clouds have symbolically been sacred to the Hopi and Tewa people; they provide rain and life to our arid climate. We have ceremonies tied specifically to cloud and rain dances to provide a cyclical balance. The cloud in this work represents the change in our planet and a shift of balance. Each image and coloration are unique and explore the Air Quality Index color chart to dictate the color palette.” -Namingha
