Mutuality

Mutuality was created in 2017 in reaction to the ongoing refugee debates in Germany. Germany was known as a place of order and reliability. That time the majority of German households where given yellow bags for free to use for recycling their plastic waste. Which, in return, was labelled as to what belonged in the yellow bag and what doesn’t.
I got thousands of yellow bags given to me by the state company to use for my artwork and to return after use. I crocheted a creature along a pattern for a lion soft toy. A lion as a metaphor for everything exotic coming from the south, especially from beyond the Mediterranean.
A lion, king of the animals, trophy for hunters, highlight of every safari and one of the dangerous animals when met in the wild on ones own.
