The Sun Issue Among Native Americans

The Zia society, which dates back to the 13th century and lived in Mexico, was a society that considered the sun sacred. The Zia, the symbol of the sun, which was the creative force that gave its name to these natives, was a special symbol that taught the harmony of everything in the universe. It expressed the embodiment of their sacred number 4 on earth. The symbol, which has four lines in four directions around a red circle, represented the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, west), the four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter), the four periods of the day (morning, noon, evening, night) and the four stages of life (childhood, youth, adulthood, old age).

The issue: We are faced with a symbol that is four-dimensional. The men have set their hearts on a number and then divided everything they know into four. Did it happen? Well, since nothing better has been found for years, it happened of course. In fact, after them, something called a quarter entered our lives. For some reason, we first make everything half and then a quarter, and complete it that way. You probably have something to take from this symbol, the master of categorization, he says, and we end our words with a quatrain.
Wait with eager anticipation
Don't turn around
You landed on your feet again
Because all around you is the issue

Orbis

The corners of the circle….
There are no linear lines or corners in nature… Perhaps this is why we have been fond of circular forms since our existence, because humans have developed by observing and imitating nature.

The source of everything, the sun, is round and radiates circular light… When you throw a stone into water, circles form… The sprouts of many plants grow by opening from a circular spiral… When people hold hands, they naturally form a circle… Maybe that’s why Göbeklitepe or Stonehenge, which is 12 thousand years old, is circular. The first thing that set humanity into motion; the wheel, is also circular. And just like our world that is constantly spinning, our eyes, which we perceive everything in the world, are also round… We all started our lives in our mother’s round belly, and maybe that’s why we pulled our feet up to our belly and rolled like a ball whenever we were scared or wanted to relax. Circles were always with us. When we end a sentence, in a raindrop, in the trunk of a tree, in the planets and stars shining in the sky, in the center of a flower or in the center of a person’s belly button…

Mesele, which adds meaning to objects with symbols, has been going around for 10 years and decided to make a new start with the ancestor of basic forms, the round. It has created a very special collection under the name Orbis, which means sphere in Latin and also expresses our eye with which we perceive the globe. A brand new story begins at the center of the eye and all other round symbols born on these lands… The world is turning no matter what you say, everything we come around is a MESELE…
