Ritual acts / Works

A field of ritual acts, traces and ongoing practices.

Läpileikkaus

A ritual act of turning the act of cutting into liberating instead of a tool of austerity.

Under a tree adorned with prayer cloths,
hair braided with ribbons and an electric cord,
plugged in.

A meditation on lineage, technology
and what is transformed when the sacred meets the contemporary.

The Living to Come Within Us

A participatory ritual space.
A shared act of weaving lives, memories and prayers
into a continuity that reaches beyond us.

We become ancestors through what we weave together.

Biohiilinoituus

A series of site-specific ritual acts
working with soil, microbes, plants and touch.

Human and microbial life entangled,
charged with intention,
returned to the ground.

Between lust and repulsion, nourishment and poison, the onion becomes a threshold.

To eat it is to invite contradiction.

A ritual act of dressing up in blue,

everyday,

deep blue,
electric blue,
royal blue, indigo blue

as a means to honour and transmit the healing forces of
the Healers in Blue:
The Medicine Buddha
and the Healing Woman, Mary the Mother of God.
