Freedom is never absolute: it is shaped by political, societal, cultural, and internal constraints. We constantly balance personal autonomy with collective responsibility, navigating the boundaries set by the world around us. True freedom requires mutual respect and a shared future. With her pieces, whose forms can be shaped and freely rearranged, Dora Des explores how freedom shifts and adapts, highlighting its delicate nature, redefined not only by the turns of history but also by the fragile interplay between individual desires and the needs of others.
[The pieces attach to clothing with a single pin, allowing it to dangle slightly as the wearer moves. The flexible wires with the colorful "pearls", enable you to rearrange the structure almost freely. However, please handle the wires and pearls with care when adjusting their position, as they are as delicate and fragile as the concept of freedom they represent.]
