Viviana
My practice delves into the heterogeneous emotions of contemporary individuals, seeking to recover sensibilities lost in an age of mass production. Informed by Marguerite Duras and the concept of écriture féminine, my work explores the fluidity of identity and the constantly shifting nature of emotional landscapes, mirroring the malleability of clay itself. This process reveals the fractured yet resilient essence of "home," both as a space of longing and unresolved trauma and as a site of personal memory and generational legacy. The repetitive nature of my creative process reflects the cyclical nature of memory, creating a tangible dialogue between intimate experience and universally resonant social themes.

Murtz
‘Sonder’, the idea that everyone lives a life just as vivid as one’s own, touches on looking to others for approval and the social value of fitting in (nobody is thinking about you, they’re thinking about themselves). Through sonder we are freed from what others think of us, providing a sense of comfort/safety - ultimately leading to a sense of belonging, as we find a home in the comfort sonder provides.
