The self is rendered as a seed pod or spore, a sturdy organism capable of traveling great distances before taking root. This seed is manifest from a collection of gourds laid down in a circular pattern like spokes on a wheel. The gourd references the Big Dipper, a constellation used as a navigational device on the Underground Railroad.
