Dependence began as a series of small-scale sculptures, produced during the first years after my relocation to France. These sculptures are made of tin, local clay and earth samples and other organic materials, which had been collected in 2010-2020 from different locations around the World. Each element of the sculpture is shaped by hand and carries human imprints. That intimate engagement with the materials give rise to a certain tension – my strive to integrate and develop the roots as well as the impossibility to erase the past experiences.
