THE South SIGIL is the realm of Fire
This Sigil invites you to consider purpose, drive, transformation and courage.
What would it mean to think of fire not only as destruction, but as a teacher of renewal, and how could this reframe the way we design climate adaptation?
record your response
Now walk clockwise to the west Sigil.
Knowing
This Sigil invites you to consider purpose, drive, transformation and courage.
Thinking
Aboriginal cultures consider fire as a tool of care and renewal, not simply of destruction. How might our climate adaptation practices learn from this wisdom, rather than responding with fear?
Feeling
Stamp both feet to release tension. Shake both arms rapidly both upward and out in a fiery burst.
Shake the whole body lightly like sparks crackling through the body. Repeat.
Doing
Adorn the Sigil with a trinket in reds, pinks, aubergines. Set intentions evoking memory, emotion, flow state and relational rhythms.
ELEMENTAL SIGILSart installation, and experience design by Melissa Gilbert (ØFFËRÎNGS | UnitePlayPerform).
Elemental Sigils is a ceremonial installation that invites you to walk the enduring ritual form of the circle. Across ancient and modern cultures, circumambulation, the act of walking a circular path around a significant place or object, has been used to honour, protect, or reflect on what is considered sacred.
Made from regenerative processes, closed-loop plastics, natural weaving materials, First Nations weaving practises and upcycled outdoor ropes and hardware, the Elemental Sigils stand as sculptural sacred sites of ritual, regeneration and repair.
