Discover the new artwork 'Entanglements' by Maura Biava: hands in prayer merge with nature. On view until 11 October in the garden of the Luther Museum.
The work by Maura Biava can be seen all summer, as part of the World Pride programme 'Ons Geloof is Liefde'.
Maura Biava, based in Amsterdam, explores how the organic world unfolds according to underlying structures of information, matter and energy. In her work, these principles take on a tangible form. Clay functions as matter, while mathematics, numbers and natural patterns carry the flow of information; her hands and actions set energy in motion.
In Entanglements – inspired by a famous print by the Lutheran artist Albrecht Dürer of devoutly folded hands – a simple gesture is charged with new meaning. Flowers grow out of the hands in prayer, the hands dissolve into their surroundings and merge with the garden and the nature around it. The work suggests a state of interconnectedness in which the boundaries between human and world blur.
