Lucky Charm
This series of metal text sculptures is based on beliefs about luck across multiple cultures. The artist considers these artworks as amulets (defined as an object that is believed to possess magical or protective powers)
The artist wrote each text by researching folklore, stories and symbols about luck that are still present in modern society and can give us a fascinating insight into human nature - our fears, hopes and desires. The concepts contained have come from religions, myths, proverbs and superstitions. The artist has also woven in some of the concepts from mathematics, astronomy and science that guide our contemporary worldview.
