Pygmalion
In Maisa Majakka’s hand-built ceramic sculptures, the human being is the main focus. The new body of work deals with the construction and construction of the human figure into a particular mould and expectations. Pygmalion was a sculptor from ancient myths who carved a female figure from ivory to his own specifications and fell in love with it.
Maisa Majakka’s debut exhibition was shown at ARTag Gallery in 2019. Since then, Majakka has collaborated with Galleria Halmetoja on projects such as 2023 Suvi-Pinx. Pygmalion is Majakka’s first solo exhibition at Galleria Halmetoja.
