Med personlige, historiske og kulturelle symboler inviterer Maria Nørholm Ramouk os med denne installation ind i et omsorgsfuldt tekstillandskab, der giver plads til en afslappet og mild overvejelse af, hvordan sociale og kulturelle forhold påvirker fællesskaber og deres kollektive identiteter. Den teltlignende struktur er udformet i plantefarvede tekstiler med traditionelle symboler for at skabe et sted med stille fordybelse og fælles bløde energier.

With personal, historical and cultural symbols, Maria Nørholm Ramouk invites us into an installation of a caring textile landscape that provides space for a relaxed and gentle consideration of how social and cultural conditions affect communities and their collective identities. The tent-like structure is crafted in plant-dyed textiles with traditional symbols to create a place of quiet contemplation and shared soft energies.
