Exhibition Theme: Narrative Space – Encounter
Artists were invited to enter into dialogue with one of two poetic texts and explore their emotional and conceptual landscapes through wearable objects.

Poetic excerpt I
Mihály Babits – The Epilogue of the Lyric Poet
“Compelled to be the hero of my verse,
the first and last in every song I write,
I long to shape in them the universe,
But nought beyond myself comes in my sight…”
(translation by István Tótfalusi)

Poetic excerpt II
Rainer Maria Rilke – Letters to a Young Poet
“Love consists in this:
that two solitudes
protect, and border,
and greet each other.”


As expressed by jury member Dr Jack Cunningham:
“Participants should explore the transformative power of narrative through the making of wearable objects and how they interface with a wider audience – the viewer.”
The submitted works approached these themes through highly diverse artistic positions: personal memory, identity, human relationships, social structures, intimacy, vulnerability, material experimentation, and contemporary narratives all emerged as recurring threads.
The exceptional quality of this year's applications made the selection process particularly demanding. The resulting exhibition aims not only to present outstanding works of contemporary jewelry, but also to create an international platform for dialogue, encounters, and artistic exchange.
