First of all, there's the visual shock, the affirmation of the right size, on a human scale, of a jewel that dares to exist. Then there's the presence of the object itself, which, beyond its apparent simplicity, reveals a multiplicity of details and degrees of interpretation, offering a host of sensations.

Daniel Kruger
Daniel Kruger is a collector of materials and forms, a discoverer of treasures. His universe is made up of a diversity of proposals that he approaches with great freedom and a form of ingenuity. Steeped in South African popular culture, he gives his work unexpected and crucial meaning. Whether it's pieces of glass, bones, textile threads or seeds, his infinite respect for the material and his love of detail add an extra dimension of soul. They amaze us with their singular beauty.
