FRAGILITY
installation

In the late 19th-century classicism-style museum display table I have placed a series of objects that I associate with the concept of fragility. "Fragility" here is represented not only in its literal meaning (e.g. "fragile porcelain" or "butterfly wings"), but also in the allegorical sense.


I have carefully collected objects (no more than 20 cm each), which carry the meanings that I have discovered during my reflections on identity, homeland and home, and my cultural heritage. The presentation of the project is similar to a classic museum display. A museum is a specific space that allows a person to understand that they live in a world where there are many things much more important than everyday problems and difficulties out there. The metaphor of a museum is not random here. People know how to treat things in a museum in order not to damage them, to preserve and protect them. In the Fragility project, I show the valuable and fragile things that I would like to draw people's attention to such as the relationships between people, trust, culture, and love.
