Lot Winther
Artist
At the conceptual heart of my practice is the desire to make the viewer feel seen: to generate encounters in which recognition becomes transformative. I aim to create spaces where introspection is possible, where emotional honesty can be met with dignity, and where the political emerges through the personal — through bodies, relationships, mythologies, and the stories we inherit or resist.
Quimaria
The legend of Quimal and the two princes struck me because it reminded me of a similar story from my hometown in Denmark, where a woman must choose between two men. With both humility toward these old legends and a touch of 2023 irony, I can’t help but reflect on why encounters between the masculine and the feminine still so often end in tragedy. More than anything, I wanted to incorporate Quimal and her prince as a reminder of inner balance and authenticity—especially in this time of global paradigm shift, where patriarchs across the world are slowly being unseated.
