HELIX

The Helix mask is an exclusive prototype, designed at the request of Li Edelkoort for the « Fetishism in Fashion » exhibition, presented at the Trapholt Museum in 2015. This protective mask, typically used in paintball, is adorned with two black raven wings. The piece merges the modern technicality of a sports accessory with the organic beauty of bird wings, creating a strange and captivating harmony.

The black wings, imbued with strong gothic symbolism, give the mask a dark and mysterious appearance. The combination of these elements forms a powerful icon, evoking both historical references and futuristic visions. As an art object, « Helix » transcends its initial role as protection to explore identity and aesthetics, while delving into themes of fetishism and transformation.

Presented as a primordial artifact, the mask gains an additional narrative dimension, appearing to be part of an ancient ritual, further enhancing its enigmatic and timeless character.

ALLPA, QUCHA, PACHA

Allpa, Qucha and Pacha are based on the same concept. They each have an identical large central receptacle. The distinctiveness of each vase comes from the way the smaller receptacles are repeated and fit onto the main central one. The combinatory principle is common to the three vases. It is the way in which the smaller containers are positioned and fit into the hollow of the bigger central part which distinguishes each vase and creates its character. Each model is like a bouquet of flowers. Seven connected vases are shaped into a “vase bouquet” that is ready to hold a unique and extravagant flower composition. The names Allpa, Qucha, and Pacha come from Inca mythology. They are the names of three goddesses: the goddess of fertility, with multiple breasts; the goddess of sowing and reaping; and the sea goddess, known as the “Mother of the sea”.
