When I was a child, harmony seemed possible. Today, by contrast, our continent appears fragile, torn, unstable. New generations are growing up in a climate of tension and uncertainty that is increasingly difficult to navigate.
This sense of disorder and disorientation shaped my series “Europa – Fragile Bond.”
Five brooches, a necklace, and an object speak of what still remains — and of what risks disappearing. The etched surfaces bear traces of wounds and of the time that has inscribed them. Only the adhesive tape — spared from the acid bath — suggests that a bond, however provisional, may still exist.
The necklace is an embrace: that of Mother Europe, attempting to hold her people together.
My work is an invitation to look beyond the image, to remember that Europe is ourselves — and that its future can still be written.
