Installation with ceramic sculptures, some producing sound. Photos were taken during art fair Big Art celebrated in Amsterdam.

In this installation water, air, and the sun, are not just a natural resource but gods and healing spirits. It is an installation that embodies mythological tails of ancestral gods who were made abject during colonial times and their worship stopped or was transformed. It stimulates a spiritual relationship with divine elements of nature and redeems the ancestral sacred character of it.

The installation made the public aware of all their senses while engaging with elements of nature, such as the sounds of the sea and of the wind coming from two different sculptures, the smell of cinnamon, and the metaphorical constructions of nature landscapes within the sculptures. It became a multi sensorial installation with a redemptive narrative. The positioning of sculptures and objects was inspired in ritualistic processes, such as the ones developed in temples. The entrance of the space had a sculpture containing water, relating to the act of washing our hands before going to pray. Also the positioning of the sculptures and cinnamon on the ground in a sort of circle created an intimate space, where the public stayed to contemplate for a long time and it felt for many as a grounding space.
