Baikal-CeraMystica

First of all, it was the first time I have been in Russia. It was perfect country especially after had a time in Olkhon Island, which is rich in archaeological landmarks and has spiritual culture like shamanism. After had a trip in that places I was inspired wonderful natural of Baikal Lake, Olkhon Island and especially small and cute Khuzhir village. So two of my work’s ideas comprised of mix of cultural context. One of my works that has 13 figures based on Shamanism, each one has a shamanic symbol on their back. The smallest has a symbol of mastermind so I tried to express that having a power is not relevant with physical force. The second work is based on Paleolithic tools. I inspired from Baikal Lake which age is estimated 25-30 millions years old. Therefore, I wanted to create the tools that represent of human life in that place. I had great time in those places. I am thankful because of your great organization, friendship and sharing great time in wonderful place.
