Souvenir
SOUVENIR is an object made of barbed wire in the form of a teddy bear. By combining a symbol of childhood safety and comfort with a material associated with borders and violence, the work reflects on memory and the traces of experiences that remain within us.
In the context of contemporary conflicts, in which children are often among the victims, the teddy bear emerges as a particularly fragile and vulnerable symbol.
The title souvenir refers not only to a keepsake, but also to the memories and emotions we carry with us, which shape our identity and our perception of the world.
From Line to Space
The journey from a point and a line on paper to spatial forms made of wire mesh is a passage from idea to matter.
A drawing begins with a point. The point becomes a line, the line unfolds into a plane. On paper, this remains illusion. But when the paper disappears, the line is freed and begins to live in space.
Wire becomes a line in the air. It bends, twists, weaves into forms that can be walked around, touched, experienced with the whole body. This is drawing that no longer imitates space – it is space.
Thus the image transforms into presence – abstraction turns into form, and thought takes on shape.
