WARM WISHES

The world, at this moment, is nothing if not shifting landscapes. Warm Wishes offers a moment of reflection on the social and personal upheavals since 2020 and a ritual for looking forward. This village of furry shelters speaks to transitions through material, form, and experience. Anthropomorphic forms—made from biodegradables like jute and grasses—the structures embrace visitors, blocking sound and wind, for a moment of pause. Small parcels—comprised of a printed ribbon, a paper slip, and instructions—adorn the interior of each structure. Visitors are invited to take a parcel— leaving a trace of their visit—and reflect on changes they would like in their own lives, their community, the world. To manifest that change, they write their wish on the slip provided, and offer it to the universe in the communal warming pit. Keeping the ribbon as a memento of the moment, visitors can remain, warm themselves, reflect, meet with friends, and enjoy the wintery confluence.
