In Colombia, as part of our farming culture, there is a tradition of giving away braids that contain garlic, coffee, lentils, and colors. The desire to give kindness and abundance to your loved ones is deeply rooted and practically woven into our culture. These braids cannot be purchased, they can only be given as a present. People believe that these braids restore contact with a universal flow of nature that brings prosperity.

“Bonds of Kindness” art installation is a response to this imbalance, an art installation that symbolizes femininity, fertility, and flow. Hundreds of small single braids make one huge mother braid made from cords of dyed cotton mixed with rope from local fishermen. A gift from Colombia to Greece, Bonds of Kindness carries the essence of Athena and the ancient matrilineal systems, the principle of lived balance, intuition, and the natural cycle of life. This gift serves as a reminder of the importance of living both masculine and feminine energies..❤️🌺🌊
