Cosmic dancer — I danced beyond the wound, into the fissure in the rock
Participatory work in which the installation brought together Amulets and Talismans sculptures displayed on the wall and on the floor, alongside boxes filled with objects, sewing materials, embroidery fragments, and studio knick-knacks similar to those used in Amulets and Talismans.
Visitors were invited to create their own talisman from the available materials and to offer it to another person.
The process was simple yet ritualistic: participants created a talisman, then either hung it on the wall or placed it among the stones on the ground. In offering their own talisman, they were invited to choose another in return, carrying it away as a gesture of exchange and reciprocity.
What emerged was a collective choreography of giving and receiving — an invisible dance woven through gestures, objects, and presences. In this circulation, the talisman became more than an object of power: it became a vessel for unseen forces, a way of attuning bodies and materials to one another, opening passages of relation and resonance.
