In Lak'ech , 2022
30 x 30 cm (h x w)

In Lak’ech is a Mayan tradition to honour the greeting of someone
else humbly and beautifully. Through the In Lak’ech sculpture the
artists are welcoming you to the exhibition. You can interact with
the sculpture and enter the exhibition. The sculpture is telling you
“In Lak’ech” and you need to answer “Hala K’in” which means
“I am another you, as you are another me”. If you want to deeply
understand In Lak’ech law, pop to the other side of the wall and
read the saying that will reveal its meaning of real relationality.
In Lak’ech is a saying which means deeper relationality.
Relationality between all the entities in the world, not only
people but Country, living and non–living things. It is unity,
being in oneness.
