VÄKI — art and hand screen printed clothing, Sydney

Väki is a Finnish word used to describe the transmission of energy between all living things. A collective force that moves between people, places and objects. It resides within all elemental forces of nature, simply present in all that exists.

It is not a force that can be addressed or provoked, but rather one that is just unnoticeably understood down to every speck of dust and every living cell.

Väki is the strength of the soul. The force that allows it to act upon the world. It grows through fragmentation, through connection, through the testing of the physical and the spiritual.
