A Grain of Truth

'A Grain of Truth' is a textile installation by Aram Han Sifuentes, who was inspired by the traditional Asian mythology of the Rice Goddess or Rice Mother. There are many versions of the tale, but basically it tells how a mother is killed and the first rice grows from her body. Due to the sacrifice of her body, rice feeds over half of the total world population today.
