This basketball design was created to highlight my indigenous culture but at the same time incorporate it into the preexisting suns ORIGINATIV basketball design.

This basketball design is inspired by Zapotec (sa-po-tek) geometric patterns, featuring mountains, maize, the spiral of life, clouds, rain, and the Tehuana (te-hwa-na) floral dress pattern. The zig-zag triangles represent mountains, the dots in between symbolize maize, the five-step spiral reflects life stages, and the white dots and lines represent clouds and rain. The floral patterns at each end are inspired by the traditional Tehuana dresses, worn by indigenous women from the Isthmus (is-mus) of Tehuantepec (te-wuan-te-pek), part of the Zapotec culture.

This opportunity will forever stay with me and I am so overjoyed I got to share this awesome ORIGINATIV night with my family. Thank you Phoenix Suns for making this possible.

As an upcoming Indigenous artist, It was an honor to be able to be apart of such an amazing experience and have the opportunity to share my artwork alongside these other amazing artists!

Having the opportunity to be apart of such a one of a kind experience is mind blowing to me. It makes me happy to know that I get to be the representation for my people and for my community. My goal as an Indigenous artist is to be able to create a community for people just like me who are navigating through rediscovery of their indigeneity.

Thank you Phoenix Suns for making this all possible 🙌🏽
