totems
2019
In ancient cultures, totems represented protection and symbolised the phenomena and energy a tribe felt connected with. My totems intend to go further, not only being symbols of protection, but also interactive tools for (re)connection. They can be seen as instruments to ‘tune in’ to nature and the unifying source of 'all that is’.
The totems crown pieces serve as receptors and the metal bases are for grounding. Seven different crystal and mineral spheres are chosen to nurture the seven chakras of the human body. A specially designed mechanism makes it possible to adjust the crystals to the specific hight and shape of different human bodies.
