The work examines the connection between the body and the earth – as an emotionally charged
material – and the meditative experience created through repetitive action. Through continuous
contact between the body and the material, both a physical and conscious transformation take place:
skin cells merge with the soil, thoughts and emotions are pushed aside, and the void takes shape.
Through the monotonous motions of kneading, pressing, rolling, sanding, and grinding, a spiritual
space emerges – one in which the mud alters the maker’s consciousness, and the maker, in turn,
transforms the material. It becomes charged with new meaning and shaped like a simulated string of
pearls, until the moment of encounter with the water.
A closed circle of temporary creation and disintegration.
