SHOWROOM PRESENTATION | ZSÓFIA KERESZTES

The apple, in its various states of metamorphosis – from blossom to fruit – is the central image in Keresztes' latest work, deftly employing biblical, semantic, and cultural-historical associations with the fruit. Above all, though, the apple becomes a sweetly painful metaphor for femininity, maturity, and motherhood, which are invariably linked to the search for balance between pleasure and pain, self and other. Next to the sculpture "The Anatomy of Embrace," Keresztes is presenting two new wall pieces, especially created for this presentation. Amorphous forms, reminiscent of female body parts, internal organs, or tentacles of unknown species, intertwine and knot together into a bittersweet embrace.
