All the Wild That Remains 

Logan Maxwell Hagege painted “All the Wild That Remains” in the style of classic Southwestern art. The blanket draped over the man is heavy with meaning, as blankets have long been a visual language of identity, status, and trade among indigenous peoples. Consider the blanket's stripes – simple yet powerful. Stripes are ancient, recurring from the robes of early Egyptian figures to the clothing of medieval jesters. Their persistence speaks to a primal human attraction to patterns that both conceal and reveal. Notice how the stripes in this blanket create a rhythm, a visual heartbeat that connects the wearer to a larger cultural narrative. Stripes reappear through time, shifting in meaning, from symbols of marginalization to emblems of solidarity. This non-linear progression highlights how symbols resurface, evolve, and take on new meanings in different historical contexts.
