Atlas of Weeds
2019-2022,
ceramics, glaze, metal, paper, wood, glass
The “Atlas of Weeds” was crafted with remarkable precision. In this piece, nothing is incidental, with each element holding symbolic significance. The weed metaphor alludes to the Holocaust and the dehumanizing rhetoric of fascist eugenics. The sum of elements mirrors the daily number of lives lost in the Auschwitz crematorium. The black and white palette evokes the classic duality of good and evil, while the inverted composition represents the moral corruption found in fascist narratives.
