PHOTOGRAPHER SEEKS HEALING THROUGH ART
Fueled by a connection to his ancestors and culture, recent BYU grad Eugene Tapahe is on a mission to heal hearts through Native American dance.
Tapahe, an award-winning photographer and member of the Diné Navajo nation, says he was inspired to launch a new project during the pandemic – a time of uncertainty for many people around the globe. His newly created project, Art Heals: The Jingle Dress Project, was based off a Native American traditional dance of healing.

Modern West is an inclusive space that welcomes all. They represent and curate Modern + Contemporary work based on artistic merit, expression and excellence in execution. They strive to offer a variety of perspectives and acknowledge that because art is viewed through a prism of specific personal experiences, the artists' intent is left for the viewer's interpretation.
