- About The Seated Figure Before Campfire near Teepees
Min was asked to express some imagery to reflect his family's choice to reside in the Southwestern United States.
His portrayal is sensitive. The figure is tending a fire relating to food preparation. The positioning of the two teepees implies a community or closely associated occupants for the purpose of safety. The birds overhead convey the presence of nature overhead.
