A shirt from a lover
A gift from a friend
A few stitches from an other
A path without an end …
Decaeon has come to stay.
…
“Never again!” she swore as she disappeared into the waves.
…
NEVER AFTER – an installation about an endless winter.
The exhibition consists of jewelry and objects inspired by decorative techniques from the Mediterranean. Rich colors and the decadent charm of the abundance of material reflect the desire for eternal life: suffocating and charming at the same time, like the bittersweet love from fairy tales …as much a balm as a poison.
In these works, curses and eternal love are intertwined, sharing a glimpse into a drowning world where memories of better days are all there is.
