Spirit #019
ABOUT THE “SPIRITS SPIRITS” SERIES BY SVENJA PHOENIX ALTAN
One hundred little spirits tell a story of community, unity and individualism. Each spirit was created with a different emotion, intention and fantasy in mind, so no one is the same. They all coexist and complement each other but can also be appreciated on their own - just like in the human realm.
The spirits serve as artifacts, a bridge that points towards the infinite, away from the material world. Their purpose is many, be it as altar objects, protection ghosts, lucky charms – a figurine that represents togetherness.
The spirits can embody emotionally charged life experiences and personal moments or serve as the representation of a person. They are a token for our own softness, strength and complexity – similar to the material they are made of: soft clay becomes stone. Stone becomes an object. The object holds a spirit.
