RITUALS
There is something profoundly grounding about working with earth and water. These materials, drawn from the land itself, shape RITUALS - our new installation at the resting place by Einavatnet.
•
RITUALS is our winning proposal for Tankeplasser, the series of art installations along the Norwegian pilgrimage route. Created as a gift to those who walk across Norway, the work invites pilgrims to pause and engage in simple, timeless gestures - lighting a fire, washing with water, reconnecting with the elements
Two installations embody this: a hillside fireplace, built collectively with the rammed earth technique, and a lakeside water sieve of brass and stone, offering clear water to all who pass.

With gratitude to Vestre Toten Municipality and to everyone who made this possible:
