Marina Kozak is a Chicago-based artist and designer exploring ritual, symbolism, and the construction of meaning through objects, environments, and visual systems. Her work draws from ancient material culture, modernism, and secular spirituality to examine how designed objects can shape our inner and collective lives.

"Marta Immortalis" - A ceramic talisman intended to grant beloved animal companions eternal life. It depicts an infinite creature, forever looping back upon itself—a form with neither beginning nor end. Throughout the year, the talisman should be periodically inverted to activate and renew its magic. Its image remains complete in either orientation, with no true top or bottom.
