Kosasie turns to object-making to piece together the scarce and fragmented histories of women-owned krisses - a ceremonial blade weld and wielded exclusively by men. Inspired by stories of her grandmother’s lost blade used during the Japanese occupation, Kosasie reconstructs these unrecorded acts of defiance—hand-carving handles to fit her grandmother’s left-handed grip and adorning the blades with her fingerprints.
In her video perfromance TUSUKLAH, Kosasie activates the 5 luk/5 wave blade.
