'Tales of Fetishism' engages with the relation between human and thing.

The collection consists of 4 ceramic narratives that each studies human behaviour around objects of different character; It can be objects of worship, collectible objects, sexual objects and more. 

Whatever the type of object, equal to them all is their ability to seduce us. 

The collection is a reflection on what a fetish is and what it means to be a fetishist. It invites you to examine and think of the different practices of love and devotion between human and thing.
