Herd N°2
Socio-cultural structures and traditional hierarchies are a questioned in the Herd N°2, a sculptural installation of transparent sky-horses. In Greek mythology, the sky-horses pull the chariot of the god Helios, symbolizing the sun’s passage from east to west, from dawn to dusk—a metaphor for transience. These mythological beings are both present and absent. Their translucent materiality and minimal figurativeness represent their absence in our physical world and their presence in our imagination, myths, and stories.
The horse herd also serves Anouk as a symbol of matriarchy. Unlike most human societies, horse herds are matriarchal—led by an experienced mare whose authority stems from inner calm. This contrasts with human concepts of leadership, often rooted in action, dominance, and superficial associations with masculinity.
