Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Helena Hafemann

Helena Hafemann born 1997, is an artist and curator living and working in Wiesbaden, Germany.In her work, she deals with the visualization and transformations of social values and explores the dignity of the materials.Her instinct merges the fragility of porcelain with the tensile strength of thread, creating a paradoxical interplay that is stunning and metaphorical.Hafemann meticulously pieces together broken plate fragments, not to restore the saucer to its original form, but to transcend it.She also stretches hundreds of strands of filigree thread between broken segments of plates.By employing delicate threads to connect these broken pieces, she creates an entirely new object, one that acknowledged the saucer’s past while propelling it into a new dimension of aesthetic and emotional significance.The threads that stretch between the porcelain fragments symbolize the bonds that hold us together, even in the face of fragmentation. Together, these materials tell a story of loss, transformation and redemption, capturing moments of dissolution and freezing them in time.More of Helena Hafemann’s wonderfully creative artwork can be found at her website, https://www.helenahafemann.de/.
