Mirrors

"For Kulju this work serves to process her own feelings of fragility. She offers us a glimpse into the places where she finds solace and light. She speaks of finding refuge in the details – the mind-boggling intricacy of the work is what grounds her. In the daunting overwhelm of this life Kulju clings to the details in order to stay present.”

“The mirrors also suggest a portal into another realm – an escape from the harshness of this reality to a place where one can lay one’s head on the gentle moss and find some respite from this life."
