Sunka Wakan (2007) by José Bedia is an etching and engraving measuring 88 × 114 cm, part of an edition of 50. The composition features silhouetted figures on horseback set beneath a monumental, semi-transparent outline of a larger horse dominating the upper register. The title, which translates from Lakota as "sacred dog"—a traditional term for horse—reflects Bedia’s deep engagement with Indigenous American cosmology and spirituality. Rendered with raw lines and an earthy palette, the work blends narrative, myth, and ritual, capturing the symbolic weight of the horse as a conduit between the earthly and the spiritual.

What is abstract art?
Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
