stranger in a strange land


(EN)       
    Artwork Statement Excerpt:
Stranger in a Strange Land draws inspiration from the biblical verse 2:21-22 and reflects our ongoing research in Pelion since 2023. Following the Daniel and Elias Storms, we collected driftwood washed ashore, transforming it it with silver through tecniques inspired by silversmithing and the Japanese practice of kintsugi. Throught this process, we turn waste into jewelry, transforming traumatic remnants and making it precious. In this installation, writing intertwines with jewelry, and jewelry regains its playful essence, echoing the roots of human language in nature. As climate change accelerates, our land becomes inhospitable and we become strangers to it. Having as a starting point the concepts of trace and writing, this artwork serves as an invitation to reconnect and reconciliate with our natural surroundings.
