The Chalice of Entanglement
An archeological expedition into the future of human consciousness.
INANA is an ongoing art project centered on humanity's eternal search for meaning. A search that looks for the intersection of inner transformation and outer systems.
​​​
INANA asks if the fractures of contemporary society can be healed by learning from humanities shared wisdom about masculine and feminine energies. It draws from ancient myths, archaeological evidence, and the evolution of contemporary consciousness.
​
At the heart lies the Chalice of Entanglement: a symbol of the union between masculine and feminine energies.
​
INANA is the creation of artworks and experiences that make the search for meaning tangible, through the union of opposing forces and the courage to remain human in a world accelerated by AI.
The Real Holy Grail
What Does It Mean to Be Human?
​Across cultures and millennia, myths like the Holy Grail were about humanity's search for the supreme value of life, for that which makes life most meaningful. They were about becoming capable of relationship: with oneself, with the other, with the world.
​
Humanity evolves in spirals, returning again and again to the same essential questions. We stand now at a crossroads. The choice before us is not between past and future, but between fragmentation and wholeness.
​
INANA is a reminder that meaning cannot be optimized. It is a process.
The Work
INANA manifests through chalices and sculptures that emerge through a deliberate three-stage process. One that mirrors the project's central question about what it means to be human in an age of technological perfection.
AI Generation
Perfect, untouchable, ideal. The post-human promise of flawless optimization. The masculine archetype of logic and control.
Hand-Made Ceramic
Digital visions made real through clay, shaped by hand. Imperfect, unique, marked by human touch. The feminine archetype of intuition and embodied presence.
3D Ceramic printing
The ceramic forms are digitally scanned and printed using a 3d ceramics printer, preserving every fingerprint within technological precision. The union: digital meets material, logic meets intuition.
The process itself becomes a relationship between seemingly opposing forces.
An exploration of how they might hold each other.
Beyond Display
These chalices function as both artwork and object. While they are made as artistic sculptures, they are also designed to be engaged with symbolically - filled, held, used for intentional reflection.
​
The intention is to break conventional boundaries, asking whether touching and using beautiful things might itself be an artistic practice.
​
The project is also becoming increasingly personal. It has always been personal to me but I am now inviting collectors to create their own stories as INANA chalices.
The Chalice As A Personal Object
The INANA chalice is becoming an inspiration to create an object around the things that make an individual or relationship unique.
​
Your personal vessel for meaning.
​
This is where INANA moves from the universal question into the intimate one.
​
I am developing two forms of personal INANA commissions.
​
FOR HER
A RELIC FROM YOUR FUTURE
The animal that represents you.
The transformation you are going through.
The qualities you want to embody.
The thing you are leaving behind.
What you are becoming.
​
The process begins with a conversation and an investigation into the symbols, stories and ideas that are meaningful to you.
​
From this, I create a unique INANA chalice for you.
An object designed to become part of your own rituals, reflections and moments of transition.
​
A personal archaeological artifact of who you are becoming.
​
COMING SOON
**Personal INANA commissions will open in a limited number of places.
​
​
​
FOR TWO
THE CHALICE OF ENTANGLEMENT
A relationship is when two individual stories become one.
​
Each object will be created around the paticular relationship it represents. It can be the story of your relationship, a meaningful moment in it, something you have overcome, its energies, tensions, history, desires and way of being together.
​
The result is a symbol of the relationship itself. It is the space created by both of you.
​
​
​COMING SOON
​
A limited number of personal couple commissions will be opened as the series develops.
FROM THE UNIVERSAL TO THE PERSONAL
​
​​
INANA began as a personal search for meaning through my relationship with my feminine side.
It evolved into a story that connects the past to the future, feminine and masculine energies and a longing for balance, beauty and belonging.
​
I want to create spaces where through art, ritual, and community, the reunion of feminine and masculine energies is once again celebrated.
​
The personal chalices are a path into taking these questions one step further.
​
What does connection mean for you?
And what happens when an artwork becomes a container for that answer?
​
​
INANA is an ongoing investigation.
New chalices, experiments, rituals and collaborations are still being created.
