Totems for play
“Totems for play” is a series of vases that is aimed to inspire to give the maker freedom and playfulness in their creation process.
A totem is created with intent, to serve our mind and spirit to remember us about the things we forget in the fastness of our daily life. Creating a totem is like an enchantment, your intentions and thoughts are projected in the design that is created.
To embody the idea of play in an object, the origin has to come from playing. The object functions as totems to unconsciously influence the owner of the object to become more playful and open, remembering you to take life light by the heart.
