A self portrait with two “Cabiri”, one a mini version of myself sitting at a window observing a ritual on a nearby golf green. The four figures on the green are dressed for a boy’s initiation ceremony and are from an 1850’s photo from Tierra Del Fuego reproduced in Joseph Campbell’s “The Power of Myth”.
