This project explores the paradigm of handcraft and abstraction as a form of resistance against the modern world of mass production, tourism, voyeuristic practices, and geographical exploitation.
“The more one is able to leave one’s cultural home, the more easily is one able to judge it, and the whole world as well, with the spiritual detachment and generosity necessary for true vision. The more easily, too, does one assess oneself and alien cultures with the same combination of intimacy and distance.”
― Edward W. Said, Orientalism
