As artists we are especially obliged to find more memories, to find those memories that are hiding behind known memories, and that sometimes, by themselves, appear and disappear again. Sometimes through associations, sometimes through certain moods, and sometimes we can’t even fathom why. Due to the very nature of real creativity - creating the new instead of perpetuating the old mechanical, same - WE need to find those memories - this is the fuel that is necessary for our future new work. Finding those memories, that are still nameless, unknown to us, in ourselves: the missing memories of our future.


Whatever the era, the greatest opportunity is to be with our loved ones. We cherish these moments by being with them. During this difficult period, we got even closer with some people and unfortunately had to say goodbye to others. I said goodbye to my grandparents. The brooch “Memories” is very personal, but the viewers can also find their own stories in it.
