"A Pot Full of Peace Spells is about what the title suggests. How peace remains on the level of speech, like a spell. With the use of mantras we can try to extract them from the pot. This is what we will always do, trying to release the mantra when we see peace still not happening in any part of the world. Peace seems to be hidden, it only rests at the level of speech. And it will always stay like that, like a mantra that is only spelled out.According to the artist, the feeling of being lost is portrayed in this work with a scenery inspired by Star Wars. Not a realistic war, but a something fantastical, out of reality. This work is connected with “Spitting our Brain for Better Future” as we are all lost in this chaotic world, but we can only hope for the better, like chanting magic spells."
