Introducing "BAJAR" - the shield, a majestic mask inspired by the tribal peoples of Norway and the mysteries of the seashells. Like a guardian of ancient lore, "BAJAR" stands tall, evoking the strength and resilience of those who once wielded shields in battle. Its intricate design pays homage to the rugged landscapes and rich cultural heritage of the Norwegian tribes, while the subtle incorporation of seashell motifs adds a touch of mystique and connection to the maritime world. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this mask exudes a sense of protection and sanctuary, symbolizing the enduring spirit of solidarity and defense. Whether worn as a symbol of heritage or displayed as a testament to the enduring bond between humanity and nature, "BAJAR" serves as a reminder of the strength found in unity and the timeless legacy of ancestral wisdom.

Muriel Nisse’s exhibit showcases a diverse collection of handmade, modern masks. The masks draw upon various ethnic influences and ritualistic traditions, resulting in a unique biomorphic style. The incorporation of natural elements such as hair and textiles further enhances the masks’ distinctiveness and adds an organic feel to the pieces..
