Oh My Goddess

ART SUITE OH MY GODDESS

DESIGN ULRIKA TALLVING & GIOVANNA MARTINEZ | ICEHOTEL 34 | AVAILABLE DECEMBER 2023 - APRIL 2024

Oh my goddess is an homage to the goddess of cacao. The concept is based on the love of chocolate, the cacao ceremony ritual and our connection to the earth and the universe.

Oh My Goddess wants to encourage visitors to create new traditions and rituals. Here we want to allow them to take a moment to sink down into the earth, follow the roots all the way down to the water and drink from the source of life.

The dark side of the concept is of course how cacao farmers have been colonised, used and abused during history. Today we can all be conscious when buying cacao products, and in that way support a world in which humans treat each other and the earth with respect and love.
