TENSEGRITY STRUCTURE
This piece is a version of the «TENSEGRITY » structure but this was my creation. Normally there is only flat surfaces on the top and bottom.
WALL-UNIT
Space is what defines a room. If and when there is space in the mind, then there is circulation of thought. Kind of like a critic about wanting more and not understanding that in less, we appreciate more, in more, we appreciate less
Lila, the Devine game
From architecture in nature and in infrastructure. The Elb Philharmonic in Hamburg inspired this piece.
On the top right corner you will see an object, a small music box. The piece is also engraved with beads which depict faces, bird and dolphin heads, from the sky to land and then the sea.
The music box is made of music notes, each one on it’s own is just a sound, together they make a composition of music. What if the eternal question of our existence, or our purpose on earth is just in the same way, alone we do not represent much but the whole galaxy has meaning it it’s existence.
masaai bust
There are three faces, the solide one plus the beaded yello and beaded blue on the wood (not on the head ornament)
The solid face is the present, the colored ones are what I might call the past and the future.
Research on sculptures in Africa, in Europe has been so tortured by the colonial experience, who owns what…
I was inspired by the Easter islands rooted so deep that they were never moved from their original space till now. But the statement is that we could loose and we are often reminded that we have lost our « culture » but is it though, it is deeply rooted in the genes 🧬 it is maybe visible in our character traits, which are from our past generations, passed on even without choosing.

This masaai bust and the last head here also are in the same series of « no idea » initially.
