This sculpture of a young Hopi girl features her native hairstyle made popular by Princess Leia in the "Star Wars" movies. Blanco created the sculpture to bring recognition to the Hopi culture and honor its influences on our society. His medium, rope, is a metaphor. A strong material, rope represents the pain every woman must endure and the strength that guides her through it.
