Artist Statement

My works often delve into the complex nature of the human psyche, exploring its multifaceted aspects through words, sounds, colours and lighting. I use art as a medium of self-reflection and a process of healing. I start my project from inner wounds and delve into them based on research. I primarily work with literature and visual arts in the forms of contemporary conceptual art.

Helios Ávra

2020Round LED Installation
Diameter 60 cmHelios Ávra is the first installation art by Hannah Brigitta. The name Helios Ávra taken from the Greek meaning of sun and aura. Which, both are part of the Greek mythological figures. Helios, the god of the sun. Ávra, the titan goddess of breezes and cool air in the morning. In Hannah’s eyes, the sun is portrayed as a blooming flower petal. The sun is the representative of the energy source in the human soul (mental). There are six colours (indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red) representing a human’s aura. Helios Ávra lives to represent the aura and balance of the soul of humans. Helios Ávra was invented by Hannah Brigitta after being analyzed with Dr Tb. Erwin Kusuma, SpKJ (K) (psychiatrist) and Tom Suhalim (aura expert). For about three months, she was ill without any diagnosis. One day, she had the opportunity to meet Dr Erwin who explained to her about the soul. Done an aura photo procedure with Mr Tom and the result showed that she tends to have a green aura (Humanist Indigo) with a red aura that sometimes appeared as the meaning of anger. Hannah’s aura inspired her to make Helios Ávra by telling us that we must have a balanced body, soul and spirit.

Story: This particular installation aims to depict the different emotions and personalities of individuals with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). As people with DID often have multiple personalities, we have utilized mediums such as one-way mirrors and tinted window films to evoke mixed emotions and characters. It functions like a conventional one-way mirror. Standing in front of each tinted one-way mirror should evoke different emotions and characters within you.
