Ways to Embrace
Artist statement:
‘A thousand ways to embrace yourself’ is a series of one minute sculptures made during the worldwide lockdown for the COVID-19 virus. Millions of people are experiencing isolation and physical restrictions at the same time.
I am interested by the memory of objects. They tell something about tradition and mental structures. They morph, shift and move. Existing objects can construct and translate memories trough time and experience. There is always a story behind it. It influences an identity. I search for the aesthetics by constructing a story behind the object.
