Artist Statement: Interactive artwork that invites the viewer into a mystical moment of choice and reward.
Through a simple gesture — placing a coin into the work — the viewer participates in a symbolic circle of life and death, when sent out coin travels through space and time to the place where life struggles to survive.
Accompanied by an audio narrative, the work frames the universe as a witnessing presence. What is given appears small and insignificant; what is sustained is an autonomous life.
The work positions animals not as resources or symbols, but as individuals worthy of care and moral consideration, while opening space for reflection on human responsibility within shared world.
Funds raised through the work are donated to Tuulispää, a sanctuary and permanent home for farm and production animals in Southern Finland, extending the work beyond representation into concrete action.
