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 body art?
Body art involves creating art directly on or with the human body. Common forms include body piercings and tattoos, but it also encompasses practices like branding, scarification, scalping, body painting, full-body tattoos, body shaping, and sub-dermal implants. Body art can also refer to a subcategory of performance art where the artist's body is central to the artwork.
