Artist. Healer. Alchemist. I make work that remembers, transforms, and awakens.
Featured Altars
I create custom, hand-built altars as devotional objects—made slowly, intentionally, and in dialogue with lineage, spirit, and material.
Each altar is a one-of-a-kind work, crafted through a combination of sculpture, mosaic, fiber, found materials, and ritual consideration. These are not decorative objects; they are sacred sites designed for grounding, remembrance, protection, and ongoing relationship.
Commissions are created for individuals, families, spiritual practitioners, and collectors seeking an altar rooted in reverence, symbolism, and ancestral continuity.
Materials: Papier-mâché, hair, paint, gold leaf, fabric, paper flowers, candles.
This altar is dedicated to Mother Mary as she was venerated in Ephesus, Turkey. The place where she is said to have lived her final years beside John and Mary Magdalene. In that ancient city, once devoted to the goddess Artemis, Mary became the living bridge between the divine feminine and the rising faith of Christ. She is mother and mystic, creator and mourner, the quiet center that holds life and death in her arms. Her hair flows like history, her golden crown glows with lineage.
Sit with this altar when you need to return to softness, when you want to remember that strength can be tender, and that creation and loss are threads of the same cloth.
Materials: Papier-mâché, mosaic glass, paint, gold leaf, candles, flowers, resin heart.
Description:
At the centre of this shrine is the figure of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Virgin who appeared in 1531 on the hill of Tepeyac, speaking in the language of the Indigenous people and bridging a vast cultural terrain. Her image became a symbol of convergence: native earth and colonial sky, dark-skinned mother and radiant queen. This altar honours that sacred meeting. The red mosaic heart glimmers above her, gold leaf catches the candle-light, and the soft incense invites you into stillness. This is a space for your inner fire: for loving fiercely, forgiving freely, and returning to yourself again and again.
Light a candle here when you need to remember the warmth beneath your armor, when you need to be reminded that you are held, you are seen, you are home.
Materials: Papier-mâché, paint, gold leaf, candle, paper flowers, sacred image.
A quiet homage to Our Lady of Guadalupe, the mother who speaks in the language of the people and carries both heaven and earth in her heart. Her image glows in white and gold, a symbol of faith that is both humble and luminous. Here, devotion is not a grand gesture but a daily rhythm, a whisper of gratitude, a moment of stillness, a flicker of light.
Place this altar where you begin your day or close it out in prayer or reflection. Let its gentle glow remind you that peace can live in the simplest moments.
The Alchemist’s Path
Pia Tuulia Cäbble is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture, and performance. Her practice explores spirituality, ancestry, and transformation through the lens of the matriarch and the martyr—figures that embody power, sacrifice, and cultural memory.
Having lived extensively in Latin America, the Caribbean, and parts of Africa, Cäbble draws from lived experience to construct immersive visual worlds rooted in diasporic traditions. Her work moves across geographies—Nigeria, Congo, Sudan, Mexico, Brazil, and Puerto Rico—bridging spiritual systems and cultural lineages through a contemporary visual language.
Her multidisciplinary practice extends beyond painting into performance and wearable forms, where the body becomes a site of ritual, transformation, and storytelling. Across mediums, she examines how power is embodied, transmitted, and, at times, persecuted.
Her ongoing body of work, Conversations with the Dead, unfolds as a symbolic exploration of ancestral presence, healing, and the tension between reverence and sacrifice.
Dance as Liberation
Dance as a Liberation extends into live performance as a solo and collaborative practice. I have been commissioned to perform in public, site-based contexts throughout Brooklyn, working as a solo performer, choreographer, and ensemble member. These performances translate embodied research into movement narratives that respond to place, audience, and collective energy. Whether staged or improvised, the work treats dance as a communal offering—inviting viewers into an accessible, emotionally resonant experience rooted in presence, participation, and storytelling through the body. Performance becomes both a ritual and a shared moment, where movement functions as a bridge between individual experience and collective witnessing.
Performance & Choreography
Rooted in a decades-long career as a performer and choreographer, my work spans live stages, television, and site-specific performance across five continents. I have toured internationally with IFE throughout Latin America, presented solo performances across New York City—including House of YES in Brooklyn—and appeared in television productions in Finland, other parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Across cultures and formats, my practice centers the body as a vessel for story, ritual, and collective experience.
World of
Tarot
World of Tarot began as an interdisciplinary live work conceived and produced for Artcrawl (2023), uniting artists and audiences from East New York and Ridgewood, Queens. I developed the original concept, designed and constructed a series of costumes, and led a collaborative team of set builders and painters to create a fully immersive environment. Blending theatrical staging, costume presentation, and dance-based performance, the project was extensively documented through photography and video. These materials later evolved into printed cards and archival works, reflecting an early commitment to collaboration, world-building, and carrying a vision from concept through live embodiment and lasting form.
Fashion show
Filmed during my 2024 Brooklyn fashion showcase, this work captures the energy, movement, and collaborative spirit surrounding the presentation of my designs. Each garment was developed over 12–16 months in my Brooklyn studio through sustained experimentation with form, material, and narrative. The accompanying images trace that process—revealing the slow transformation from raw materials to finished wearable artworks, and highlighting fashion as performance, ritual, and storytelling in motion..
