Objects. The artist kept finding lost gloves. They were single and therefore useless. She began to collect them and join them into pairs, forming new pairs; male and female, expensive and cheap, brand named ones or hand-knitted. Thanks to that, they acquired a new life and began to function in new relationships. The word ‘pair’ can refer both to objects and people who are somehow connected. Who says that they have to be identical? In a simple way, the work conveys reflections about relationships, mutual dependences and systems of value.
