  • 10 sculptures of Nordic Bronze Age shamanistic masks called Helkappes used as tools to establish communication with the other world. I use them during a performance to reflect on the longing for communication.

    Ritual Ramblings | 2014

A series of work all linked by a performance. A Vietnamese lacquer painting inspired by the "Mirror of truth", a mirror in the Buddhist underworld that reflects and judges your truth in the afterlife. A Vietnamese coated lacquer sculpture taken from the idea of the mountain of knives in the Buddhist underworld which we all must pass as a form of punishment to find peace. And a group of masks inspired by the Helkappe, a mask used by Nordic Bronze Age shamans in order to communicate with spirits.
