Artist statement

Anna works at the intersection of sculpture, textiles, and photography, exploring themes of vulnerability, memory, and the body through the tension between materials. Her practice moves between the personal, the public, and the political, addressing trauma and the wounded body as symbols of resistance to pain. Recently, she has become interested in the relationship between the body and the hostile environments of construction and gentrification in big cities. In this context, she questions how to inhabit the body in transitory spaces, and how everyday life exerts both traumatic and resilient impacts on the body. Through the collection of abandoned objects, Anna engages with the concept of orientation, transforming once utilitarian items into new sculptural forms. In this confrontation of materials, she explores vulnerability and protection, seeking a delicate equilibrium between the two and imagining new ways of inhabiting and coexisting.

By working with bobbin lace and reconfiguring found objects, she creates fragile textiles that seem to escape physical boundaries, opening space for new imaginaries to emerge. The act of creating fabric becomes a healing gesture, one that highlights the origin of the wound and travels through the skin itself. Photography has recently taken on a more prominent role in her practice, serving as a means of capturing the body’s interaction with the reshaped materials she works and converting the result into a form of timeless performance.
