"Time lived close to nature became an initiation. What matured there — now shapes everything I create.

My current work begins with an art installation, MUTTERZELT / Mother Tent, dedicated to the female collective of past, present, and future.

Old fabrics, natural materials, a ritualistic approach, and a community mindset form this work —creating a space of listening to, exploring, integrating, or rewriting ‘herstory’ — seeking the transformation of inherited inequality within patriarchal structures into a just and life-affirming reality.

I see life, spirituality, and forms of artistic expression not as separate segments, but as one web in which each thread is contributing to wholeness - within my inner landscapes and within co-created outer realities.

Having accompanied my grandmother during the last months of her life, and having spent time on ancestral land, MUTTERZELT honors those personal life experiences - and it sets the tone for future projects that are currently seeding." luisa lua
