Metal, acrylic paint, textile

Metal plates were painted. The images were representative of the artist life, so in a sense the plates were autobiographical. Then the plates were drastically cut and at each cut, welded back together. At the end the plates were little shriveled objects, with small recollection of the painted images. Three of them were placed on strange metal boxes padded with a red textile, which intrude the viewer space, invites them to decipher the plates meanings.
