Saint Bunny and the BarthoChild
mixed media sculptures, 2023
made in collaboration with Katarina Holzmann Ekholm



Many cities are watched over by statues of saints. They originate from old legends of heroism and symbolically represent protection to the cities and their people.

Saint Bunny and the BarthoChild are protectors of the inner
child. They stand for and foster its demands and desires. Like a mascot, Saint Bunny represents the comfort of materialism while the BarthoChild fulfils the child’s deepest desires. Together, they will shield you from the dangers of the outer world, bringing luck and protection.
