Home - Land of Silence
From immemorial time, man has been on the run. We are chased by military regimes,
natural disasters and by values that are no longer ours. Geographical, mental and spiritual
aspects influence us. We seek inward. We want to protect, care for, find and build new
communities.
The theme «Home - Land of Silence « takes on new meaning. The focus is not on
abundance and luxury, but on something close and real. Towards identity. For who are
we? Who do we want to be? Without all the ornaments? Without the wrapping paper we
daily wrap ourselves in. When Home is no longer Home?
In this exhibition, I have given longing focus. The line shows the way. Not just
geographical movements, but mental ones. It is the storyteller and the guide that helps
me capture the wind, the moments, and the threads of life. In the rhythm of amniotic fluid
and life.
And it searches inward, to who we are, if we dare to be.
In this vulnerability I create and find connection and belonging.
With the circle and the free line, symbols in the rhythm of life. I am free to
create in this fragile landscape where mine and yours are no longer mentioned. Where
what was is no longer mentioned, but what is. You are the observer, alone and together
we give longing a home.
