Is Migration a Spiritual Rite? explores migration as a foundational human myth.
This piece marks the moment Mariah Oller realized how many creation myths begin with an act of migration. The collage brings together religious imagery, animal dispersion, and migration narratives across time.
Handwritten research notes on the reverse reference creation myths and migration stories including Adam and Eve, the Tower of Babel, Abraham’s journey, the founding of Rome, Mexica migration, and Incan migration.
Part artwork, part research artifact, the piece asks whether migration itself functions as a sacred act of transformation.
