Talisman
Inspired by samurai shields. These are made of chains in a linear and open but heavy protecting construction. In this work I use new and used chains and necklaces. It is not a physical shield but gives the wearer immaterial protection through incorporated yet hypothetical amulets.

Exhibited at: ‘The Fitting Room’ National Gallery, Jakarta, Selasar Sunaryo Art Space, Bandung, Indonesia (2009).
