The Snow Flower of the North revives an ancient form of reindeer herders’ communication, where messages were left through symbolic objects placed near stones or mounds. Embodying the Snow Flower, the artist conceals messages within its petals, inviting visitors to receive one in exchange for leaving their own.
Accompanied by an original composition by Felix Ventouras, the work unfolds as a ritual of exchange, memory, trust, and survival—creating a living circulation of messages between strangers.
