Eye of the Sphinx
Artwork Description:
A mystical bird that serves as a sacred messenger between the physical and spiritual realms, Argala, is a mythological being of immense power, wisdom, and sacred relevance to the Dagara people carrying both spiritual and symbolic meaning.
As a winged bird being, with command over the skies, Argala is associated with the air and wind, which in Dagara cosmology is associated with communication, intellect, and spiritual insight. In the words of the artist, Mr. Traore, “Argala is a mystical bird that symbolizes freedom, hope, and new beginnings, and also represents joy, peace, and prosperity. Argala is called forth to bring courage, strength, and intelligence for those calling in support.”
The Dagara people, deeply connected to nature and the spiritual world, often embed their cosmological beliefs in symbols derived from the natural world, with "Argala" representing one of the more mystical and powerful entities within their belief system serving as an intermediary between humans and the divine.
The presence of Argala in Dagara mythology symbolizes a connection to higher wisdom and the ability to see beyond the ordinary, as birds are often seen as creatures that can transcend the boundaries of earth and sky. Argala, therefore, represents a bridge to spiritual knowledge and a guide for those seeking to connect with the divine.
Argala is also associated with transformation and protection. As a bird that can traverse great distances and soar to great heights, it symbolizes the ability to rise above challenges and gain a broader perspective on life. The mystical nature of Argala also imbues it with protective qualities, watching over those on a spiritual journey or those seeking to understand deeper truths.
