At the end of September, I exhibited my works at the Art Market (Targowisko Sztuki). Just before the fair began, two of my pieces were destroyed by a neighbour from the next stall. They were ceramic sculptures that held a very important place in my heart. So important that, despite having interested clients, I hesitated to sell them. I always quoted a price that turned out to be a bit too high. Surprisingly, no one wanted to negotiate. They simply gave up on the purchase. I was a little protective of them. I placed them in significant spots around my apartment. I talked to them.
At this fair, I wanted to show them to the world for the first time, and I felt a growing readiness to part with them. To let them go into the world. And perhaps the world played a little joke on me. I parted with them without receiving any compensation. They didn’t please anyone’s eyes. Frustration overwhelmed me, even more so because the destroyer totally shrugged me off.
I felt as if something important had died within me. I collected the remnants of my works and for a while I couldn’t even bear to look at them.
However, I eventually gathered my strength and decided to give them a new life. I glued them back together. And I covered all the “scars” with golden dust.
