Would you like to protect someone?

Concept of the Exhibition

This magical bowl was commissioned by a mother as an object to protect her children from demons. The bowl conveys a message of caring for loved ones and asking for their protection.

Asking for protection is the central theme we adopted. The goal of our exhibition is twofold: engage and share.

Engagement is achieved by providing a 3D-printed copy which the visitor can touch. By making a circular movement inside the bowl, just as the sorcerer did 1500 years ago, the visitor is drawn into the object. Furthermore we provide an explanation and a translation in clear language to make its history easily approachable.

Sharing is achieved through the concept of the wishing wall, where a visitor can leave a wish for someone special.
