Two elder figures are portrayed side by side, wrapped in striped blankets. One carries a rifle, the other a walking stick. The scene suggests companionship, survival, and a shared path through time.

Chebon Dacon’s ability to capture quiet moments with profound emotional weight is a hallmark of his style. As a self-taught Muscogee artist, his work is both personal and collective, preserving lifeways through pencil and paper.
