At the heart of the word nakama lies a poetic etymology: naka (仲), meaning "relationship," joined with ma (間), meaning "space" — together forming a span of relationships.

In Japanese, nakama transcends ordinary friendship. It signifies a close, family-like bond forged through shared experiences, rooted in community and mutual support — not merely the friend one meets by chance, but the companion chosen to walk a shared path.

With this totem, Amélie Dauteur summons the invisible architecture of human connection. The figure stands not alone, but as the embodiment of every alliance, every circle of trust that gives life its depth.

NAKAMA asks the viewer a quiet, intimate question: who are yours?

Amélie Dauteur

"Okashi, Hosu, Niji, Taboo, Torio — each a charming name forming a forest of totems created by Amélie Dauteur.Amélie Dauteur’s totems are poetic exclamation marks that punctuate the art scene with their grace, finesse, and joyful beauty. It comes as no surprise — their creator, who comes from the world of decoration, fashion, and luxury, brings exceptional care to their making. Her gesture is assured, her technique refined, and in her choice of materials — hand-painted ceramics or wood shaped by time — nothing is left to chance. These elements, drawn from nature, reinforce the primal and sensual character of the totems."
