Mother Mandala, 2020
International Forest Art Path Biennale, Darmstadt, Alemanha

Mother Mandala celebrates the human origin, the connection to nature and its healing powers, as well as complex connections in the Mandala, on the Internet and the underground "communication networks" in the forest through mushrooms and roots. The permanent installation in the forest features donated, coloured dresses, which are enriched with small found treasures and natural materials. Ultimately, each segment is linked to the history of the garments, their previous owner and their contemporary history. The personal stories behind the donated dresses are presented in a digital form on the Internet and address cultural identity as well as questions todays values in relation to textiles. In Mother Mandala the clothing pieces and their history are symbolically honoured. It is also an investigative visual journey into the spheres of the patterns of the Darmstadt Art Deco, the Hindu Mandala, the Christian Rosette, the Maya Tzolk'in as well as the Persian Shamseh.
