The Year of the Snake – On the Shoulders of Winter

The snake, crafted from scorched river wood, is inspired by the year 2025 – the Year of the Wooden Snake in Chinese tradition. It symbolizes the demons of winter, which, according to custom, we strive to drive away in order to welcome summer and the season of abundance. The snake stands for respect toward cyclical time and rebirth. The mask evokes reverence and echoes the traditions of carnival rituals.
