Project description

The starts are made of fired clay. Some bricks are made of the same material, thus it is easy to imagine that the ceramic stars are building blocks.

I grew up in a Communist country and for me the red star is aways a symbol of that system and ideology. This work is not political only, but expresses my troubles seeing a lot of westerners going to the place (metaphorically) in which I was raised until 1989. SS
