Desert Altar, installation by Inga Viugova.

Desert Altar UAE, 2024

Inspired by La Loba from Mexican and Southwestern folklore, the wolf
woman who gathers bones and sings them back to life. I dedicated this
work to one woman, and it also speaks to my own search for resonance.

In the stillness of the desert, a shaped mirror sits at the center and reflects
either the viewer or the land, turning looking into an act of self-recovery. Two horns rise from the sand like the tip of a buried strength not yet reclaimed. A brass moon in the waning crescent marks the moment before renewal. A crystal from the UAE mountains anchors the base and contrasts with the sand.


Dimensions & Materials
 Approx. 160 cm (h) × 100 cm (w) × 50 cm (d) brass waning crescent moon (270mm), horns gifted by a friend, crystal from the mountains of the UAE, shaped mirror.
