Installation. Material: Clay, 35 x 19 cm and sound.

”The relationship between human and nature was broken. During the years where we developed technology with the aim of compressing and speeding up processes, the process of nature began to be regarded as slowly outdated. There was no time to be fascinated by the small and great wonders of nature. Our gaze was up, forward. Faster and more were our lead words.

Protector Of Symbiosis was discovered when technology took over. Nature was our only refuge and as we searched for shelter we heard her voice whispering in the woods and through the sound of the sea. Protector Of Symbiosis taught us to ground ourselves, to take root. Slowly we began to recreate and heal our relationship with nature and realize how powerful it could be if we listened to and respected it. Step into the prayer room and listen to her soothing words that led us back to an established a peaceful life in symbiosis with nature.”
