Sky Maiden
Ese või asi/Objects or Things exhibition, Krulli Kvartal
The two-headed woman motif in this piece reinterprets a traditional Izhorian embroidery element, symbolising duality and balance. It draws from deep cultural roots to illustrate the intricate relationship between nature and human existence, embedding layers of memory and stories from indigenous populations that no longer exist.
