Objects of Empathy propose conceptual and aesthetic forms for everyday rituals with gesture, posture, handling and materiality. Ambiguous forms invite engagement and interaction creating a personal relationship to the object, and thus defining the functionality of the object. These objects with no clearly defined function and with seemingly ambiguous meaning invite personal and subjective interpretation and reflection thereby giving them their symbolic value.

SAMMA (the Swedish word for same) found it’s beginnings in 2009 when Hanna Sandin came home to find her apartment ransacked and her valuables and jewellery stolen. She began stringing materials from her studio around her neck and her jewelry became a natural, wearable extension of the mobiles and sculpture for which she was already known.
An intuitive handling of materials informs a simple, though idiosyncratic aesthetic. Sandin works with various materials including woven metals, cast pyramids and hand crafted elements, incorporating the repetition of geometric motifs. Her sculptural background is evident in the unique sensibility of each piece.
Hanna Sandin lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
