(What we lose never really leaves our life.
Experiences are never forgotten; they're transformed into a transparent 'border' between a person and the outside world. In any form, that transformation never stops. In circumstances of war, revolutions, and global changes, more and more people face forced migration. But how does this complex moment influence each personality and worldview? In the search for forms that can speak about one's story and gather feelings and codes, Recreating Lost Spaces is a statement of trying to capture almost 'unspeakable' things: memories, traditions, symbols, broken and destroyed parts of each artist's personal history into one unstable 'fabric' that can be destroyed at any moment. The fragility of that process and the stories that each work owns create a space for sharing and supporting in the vulnerable process of 'weaving' each personal reality)
