« My Four Guardian Angels – the blue series
The ancient use of amulets as a metaphysical protection against varies dangers (evil eye, demons,hate etc.) is shifted into our post-modern society and our current fears. One of the main fears in our ״fear society״, is the fear from the “other”, the different, the immigrant, the foreigner and the Alien. This body of work comments on the way we perceive the « other » and put an emphasis on our human need to feel protected. As a result, the visual language that was chosen for the collection consists of shapes of aliens-creatures, protection elements and materials that are related and connected with safety. » Dana hakim
