In this piece, Saar has chosen to include a photograph of a group of Nuba boys. They are covered with ash, and performing an initiation rite. Even though these youngsters are not actual ancestors of the artist, Saar plays with the idea of Africans as ancestors of all African Americans. In addition to the photograph, the artist adds objects and symbols with evocative power, such as the all-seeing eye, the hand, the lion with the human skull, the Gelede mask, the phases of the moon, the feathers, the skeletons and the hair-like fibers. With all these objects, the artist pays homage to different belief systems and, therefore, ways of seeing the world.
