The 10th edition of the New Talent Award 2024 by Klimt02 aims to recognize the work of graduate students in our field by supporting their careers in the professional world. Nominated by our school members, one of the selected graduates will win the New Talents Award.
This project becomes a bridge between my past and present selves. Through this, I seek to materialize a form of self-forgiveness—reconciling with the constant desire to hold on to something that was never truly mine and never will be.

Name of graduation student: Ayla Tur
Name of guiding teacher: Jose Carlos Pastor Climent, Mercedes Eslava Farre and Sonia Cervera Hernández
Nominated by EASD València
Ayla Pineda Tur's work is not easily limited by the concept and functions that are usually associated with jewellery. Even in her previous works, her artistic discourse moves in a subtle balance between the jewellery of objects and that of ritualised actions. Tangible elements always emerge, they are always preceded by long technical experimentation, but they will never be complete jewels without the ceremony that she calls for to give them meaning.

The statement of the artist:
hecha polvo
This project explores the complex landscape of absence and the profound void left by loss, particularly the absence of a father. How can we speak of what is not, of the emptiness that lingers in the silence of absence? How can we give shape to what has gone but continues to echo in memory? These questions are the foundation of my artistic exploration, which seeks to understand, heal, and ultimately forgive. At the core of this work is the intention to transform raw, unprocessed emotions—anger, hatred, and sorrow—into something tangible, something that can be externalized and observed. Through my pieces, I hope to give voice to the silence left by my father’s absence and, in doing so, give form to my grief and longing.
The void, this space where he once was, breeds uncertainty. It is a place where questions linger and where grief takes on almost physical form. Absence stirs not only sadness but also an anger that feels relentless, an anger directed at the loss. My goal is to create not only to express this fury but also to release it, to free myself from the endless yearning for something that cannot return. This project becomes a bridge between my past and present selves. Through this, I seek to materialize a form of self-forgiveness—reconciling with the constant desire to hold on to something that was never truly mine and never will be.
In the silence of the void, I attempt to understand the feeling of belonging, the sense of origin from something that once always existed by my side but no longer does. I struggle with such hatred, such anger, but also such yearning. I try to understand my need to connect with someone who is no longer in my life and will never be. I feel bound to him, to his absence. I feel guilty—guilty for his loss.
Through the delicate experimentation with materials, I use eggshells as a metaphor for maternal protection, their fragile surface embodying the tender shield of care. In contrast, charcoal becomes a symbol of my father, its dark, ashen form evoking both the weight of absence and the traces of a once-present force. The interplay of fire—destructive yet healing—transcends mere symbolism, weaving together the destruction of rejection and the renewal of forgiveness, as both an element of obliteration and restoration. During this experimentation, a question grows louder: Where do I stand between these two materials? My character transforms into a metaphorical house-refuge where the entire narrative unfolds. I seek to give form to my emotions and create a physical yet external piece of myself—one that I can return to when I choose, but that no longer resides within me. This refuge, though cold and distant, offers me strength.
Following traces is a dual act: retracing steps to find new truths, another story, to find the presence of something even in its absence. This work speaks of the unspoken and seeks to materialize the non-existent.
