Symbols

This work by Jungerman is composed of a variety of materials that all refer to something. For instance, the textiles with geometric patterns come from the Surinamese maroon culture and the white clay is a reference to the Winti culture. They use this clay as a purifying agent on objects, statues and bodies to make contact with ancestors.
