This image features fellow photographer Leah Kolakowski (Keweenaw Bay Ojibwe), who appears as a humanoid extraterrestrial with green skin—a riff on the idea of aliens as “little green men”—against a hot pink background. These vibrant colors were created using gels on the lights in Romero’s studio. Look closely at Leah’s sunglasses and you will see powwow dancers from Keweenaw reflected in their lenses, an image added in post-production. In Anishinaabemowin, the language of Leah’s tribe, the title of this image, Gikendaaso, means “one who knows, or one who is smart, intelligent, or educated.” The wires connected to her head signal the transmission of knowledge but lead us to wonder whether they are transmitting to or from the figure, or perhaps both.
