MEMORIES THAT WE EXIST, 2022

Steel mesh and branch

155 x 75 x 6 cm

The metal mesh is unraveled and hung on a branch, resembling a fabric that has flown, forgotten. Its appearance recalls the talit, a traditional Jewish mantle, but in numerous cultures, the mantle signifies spirituality. In future times when we will no longer be here, spirituality materialized in steel becomes a trace of what we were, along with everything we have produced, which will live on for many millennia beyond us.
