It is the first time dear that you have a human shape (spider)
2012
Young Balkan artist Petrit Halilaj makes work based on personal and collective stories connected with the region of his birth, ravaged by the Kosovo War of 1998-99. The present work reflects on his family’s flight from his childhood home in the village of Runik, which saw them end up in a refugee camp in Albania. Able to take with her only a necessary minimum, his mother buried her jewellery in the garden, and this sculpture is an oversized replica of one of those pieces, here partly covered in sand from the ruins of the house, destroyed in the war.
