After ten years in fashion and fashion design where everything changes quickly and constantly, which is actually the main characteristic of the fashion world, the energy gets lost in the process and one starts the quest for deeper meanings of life, a balanced durability in silence.\u00a0\u00a0We grab and reach for the information, images – everything that surrounds us, without trying to mould it into something more meaningful that could give us stability and direction.\u00a0Long lost are the classic harbours such as religion and tradition. We live faster, higher and louder. We have evolved, who still lives in their hometown?\u00a0 We move, we travel, we reach out. The world has become available and we do not longer need to lead the lives our parents have lead. We build our own realities.This work is a very personal and private display of the desire to manifest oneself from a new perspective. It plays on the contradictions in the quest for a deeper sense in life, in this fast and consumption-based society. Is there a need for having something to believe in?<\/p>\n

The VIA DOLOROSA, on the 14 paintings of redemption, leaning on the Stations of the Cross.\u00a014 collages, made from recycling advertising flyers that surround us everyday on the street, in trams, mailboxes, front door, in our homes. The special supermarket offers, beverage cans, football news, daily junk; these imposed things include bling and kitsch, mainly associated with religious memorabilia. On the other hand, the kitsch of religious memorabilia, as \u201cflashy\u201c as it is, is successfully overshadowed by the lack of taste and competition between big corporations.\u00a0By recycling false \u201cbling\u201c the artist will give a new shine to the real values.\u00a0By recycling her beliefs she will try to build a new religion, and see what comes out of it.<\/p>\n
