A Crow’s Benediction
Offerings, Atlanta, USA

A Crow’s Benediction begins at a moment of departure, holding the weight of leaving a U.S. art context that shaped the work but never fully made space for it to grow.

At the center is a cross built from fragments of earlier works made in Atlanta. Each piece carries its own history, traces of time, labor, and connection to a specific artistic community.

The artist lifts the structure and holds it across their body. The weight settles in slowly, moving through the arms, shoulders, and back. As time passes, the body begins to adjust, to compensate, to push against its own limits.

Endurance gradually gives way to strain. The weight stays the same, but the body shifts under it.

The cross is heavy, but still within what the body can hold. When it is finally released, it isn’t out of failure, but out of choice, a decision to stop carrying it.

The work moves between holding on and letting go. The cross becomes both burden and offering, something carried with intention and then consciously set down.

What has been built is gathered one last time, held, and then released as the artist leaves the U.S. for Berlin, where the work is able to deepen.
