Collection concept:
For the sake of freedam'
As we walk by the string of memory, yesterday and the near tomorrow, the fight for freedom become the focus of attention. The stress between good and evil, inherent to human nature, comes with a continuous struggle against repression.
While blood pulses, we must internalize ways to face the world and (re)act: ‘resilience’, ‘resistance’ and ‘renovation’, the latter considered as generational testimonial passage, in the ethical sense. It is about passing on memories, making known the value of freedom and the constant danger it is in, a way of being in the world.
