The wall sculpture Phalynx was created from the idea of a defensive nature. Through human´s ruthless treatment of its environment, evolution has produced creatures that fight back. Phalynx is inspired by the maw of a deep-sea worm. The title comes from the medical term pharynx and has been slightly modified to refer to a fictional, mythological level. The association with a vagina dentata brings a feminist perspective to the work and points to the struggle against the male-dominated suppression of nature.
