Welcome to Mia’s secret garden— where everything is beautiful and innocent. Flowers and fantasy take over leaving the rest of the world behind. The beauty and the simplicity of life makes you feel that nothing truly matters, but that which is sweet and heavenly. Can we just stay here for a moment?

“In art, we experience things that we have forgotten we had seen before—in the world, in others, in ourselves. My art does not revolve around all the things that are wrong in our society, but more around the universal experience that is tied to being human. We enter the world through another person’s body. The fact that we exist is solely because someone else exists. Matter made by matter— a new body in relation to another person’s body. A child is born as its own individual, but cannot initially distinguish between himself or herself and the breast that makes them grow. As with the mother, who has given birth to another human being, continues to have a bodily dependence on the offspring. She is herself reborn psychologically and must find a new way to exist in the world. Another form has shaped me, and I have shaped another form. The mother has thereby much in common with the artist, who birth new forms again and again.
Unity and separation inspire my work. The unity of the mother and the child and the individual as part of a greater whole. For the mother, the child is a reminder of something universal— the divine, cosmos, chaos, the endless; that which she/he came from, and will return to.”
