"LAMYA gathers fire, ice, and voice, and returns them to the world as a sign.

She asks us to learn to read contradictions as different forms of the same reality."

This work connects three entirely different sources of knowledge and imagery.

The first is Enceladus, Saturn’s moon. In 2008 NASA’s Cassini spacecraft photographed its south pole and revealed something unexpected: beneath its surface, periodic eruptions of warm ice rise upward. These eruptions heat and renew the moon’s surface, allowing a relatively small moon to remain geologically active over immense spans of time.

The second source is a satellite photograph of the Northern California wildfires of 2017. In the Terra satellite image from NASA, one can see the scar left by the fire on the landscape, burned areas beside patches where vegetation remains. It is an image that reveals how natural forces, intensified by climate change, reshape the Earth in a very short time.

The third source is a ritual object from Fiji from the early nineteenth century, a ceremonial bowl called daveniyaqona. Priests used it to hold sacred substances and communicate with ancestral spirits. The object itself is carved as a human figure and formed part of a ritual system meant to connect with unseen forces.

These three sources, a landscape seen from space, a figure created to host a spirit, and a distant planetary body, meet here as an unexpected conjunction of scales and times. They open a space where the cosmic, the earthly, and the spiritual coexist side by side, suggesting different ways of listening to the signs the world leaves behind.
