Theodora Händel

Public

Approved

The work thematizes the conditions of faith for modern people; in the religious sense, belief in change, freedom, democracy and justice - for a better future.
Faith is challenged by coercion and tyranny; tyranny of opinion, technocracy, violations of human rights and the environment, and the work expresses something about human strength in the face of superiority.

English

Verket tematiserer troens vilkår for moderne mennesker; i religiøs forstand, tro på forandring, frihet, demokrati og rettferdighet – på en bedre fremtid.
Tro utfordres av tvang og tyranni; meningstyranni, teknokrati, brudd på menneskerettigheter og miljø, og verket uttrykker noe om menneskets styrke i møte med overmakt.
