Mongolian silversmith Mariia Khas explores the connections between her jewelry making and the focused, protective energy of wrath. Interweaving visuals of the artist in her studio and the natural landscape with music from Namgar, this deeply personal video references Tibetan and Shamanic legends and deities of her homeland to evoke the artistic and spiritual lineages that inform and inspire her work.
“This project was deeply personal. For the first time, I was able to share not just the form of what I do, but the feelings behind it—my love and admiration for the world I was born into.” —Mariia Khas
