Lauren Baker’s Totem Tribe series explores connection with nature, community, and symbolism, drawing on indigenous traditions, megalithic sites, Jungian archetypes, and talismanic energy. The Eros Totems, inspired by the Lovers archetype, express sensuality, creativity, and magnetic connection. The female form includes circular breasts and a Yoni symbol of sacred feminine energy; the male form features an exaggerated Lingam symbolising vitality and fertility, with a playful bottom on the reverse. Designed as modern talismans, the sculptures awaken the adventurous spirit.
