MELINDA ŠEFČIĆ
FRAGMENTATION
2.7.-23.7.2024.
KARAS GALLERY

On Tuesday, 2.7.2024. Melinda Šefčić opens her solo exhibition entitled Fragmentation, at 7 pm in Karas Gallery (Ulica kralja Zvonimira 58).

In their foreword, Tena Razumović Žmara emphasize:

In her new work, Melinda Šefčić addresses the issue of identity — me in my own body, and the assimilation of the individual within a new living environment — my body in the world. The universal perception of a woman who is no longer young but not yet old, who often finds herself in a kind of limbo. The light-heartedness and fun of youth are gone, and wisdom is only beginning to emerge. What to do then? Which direction to turn to, where to go, which principles to follow?
