    Select Works | 2017

All of these works were created for the show Surface Tensions at Pump House Gallery in London, which I prepared together with my sister and sculptor Pavla Scerankova. Alternative titles of the show, which we considered, were "The world is not parallel" or "Reality of detached feelings", referring to the idea, that world we share as human society is only one - even if something is not happening directly to us, it does not mean, that we have nothing to do with it. My works often deal with the insecurity and instability on a personal level, but at the show Surface Tensions, we were trying to relate to the wider context of the feeling of insecurity we share as a society.
