Has all the myth and magic disappeared?
By using the possibilities of digital collage I make visible what is often conceived invisible. I use the elements of earth and stone to suggest that there is a subterranean flow of natural force that one can connect to through a ritual. The ritual I depict is based on hand gestures and objects or places that have a symbolic meaning to that ritual.
I focus on the theme transformation: human hands have the power to transform the nature and the natural forces have the power to transform humans. This exchange and transformation should be equal - and thus the rope as a ritualistic object symbolizes the way humans are tied to the nature and should retain a respect towards it.
