The artist’s main interest is the collective, as a way of self-recognition. This means identifying commonalities, such as language, traditions, criteria of beauty, which can become a joint subject of conversation.

Package with beautiful things

“This project is between admiration and practicality, beauty and utility. I appeal to the desire that ordinary things evoke in us, designed to capture our attention – jewelry, goods for sale. These are those objects that are frozen between people, being a form of communication between them. In searching for the reason for this desire, I come to the idea of ​​intense beauty that is expressed in them. With the help of an artistic gesture, I purify a thing, revealing this beauty in it, thanks to which the thing becomes an object saturated with beauty. In this way, revealed and mediated beauty becomes a common space in which a dialogue can begin about culture as a form of expression of what is valuable, about accepting this culture through understanding it, getting closer to those to whom these things bring happiness.”
