“This collection draws inspiration from the Golem, a figure from Jewish mythology. Made from clay or mud, the Golem traditionally serves as a protector in times of adversity but is capable of invoking fear once peace is restored. The function of the Golem changes depending on its context. While some see the Golem as a villain, others view it as a victim. The Golem is thus in perpetual limbo, unable to fulfill an ultimate purpose; it's malleable, ever shifting.”
