Journey through art

To start a journey means to follow one's own longing for an answer. To follow the smell of the sea and salt traces from the depths is the same as walking a beaten path, straight or crooked rocky roads. But most wind through labyrinths, searching for the passage to continue the journey.

Cracks

The crack is where the history of the material speaks about time and vanishing. Whole worlds can disappear in the cracks, depending on whether it lies deep  under the surface or is visible from the outside.

The Erinyes, goddesses of vengeance in Greek mythology, punish those who commit crimes or violate human rights. A crack signals collapse and the loss of justice. To maintain equilibrium, we must undertake radical social and political changes. This crack on the goddesses' face represents the decline of neoliberalism. In response, people assume the role of Erinyes against oligarchy.
