"ORMEL calls power to stand beside life.

She asks us to direct our strength toward what allows life to grow."

This work brings together three expressions of unseen forces.

An image of the Eagle Nebula reveals a distant region of space where new stars are born from clouds of gas and dust. The infrared photograph exposes what the human eye cannot see: slow processes of creation and destruction unfolding across thousands of light-years.

Beside it appears a Nkisi Nkonde power figure from the Kongo culture, a wooden sculpture embedded with nails and ritual materials. Used in ceremonies of protection, healing, or justice, the figure contains a small mirror in its abdomen, symbolizing its role as a mediator between the visible world and spiritual forces.

Next to it stands a jade vase from the Liao dynasty in China, decorated with dragons and mythological creatures. The polished stone and symbolic ornamentation reflect a cosmological worldview in which mythical beings give form to the forces of nature and order.

Together they offer different ways of approaching what cannot easily be seen.
