THE FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENTS OF THE WORLD - solo show by Elina Hadjinicoloa
Also opening in Limassol next week is Elina Hadjinicola’s first solo show. The contemporary mixed-media sculptor will present her exhibition titled The Fundamental Components of the World at the Seed Youth Gallery, from Saturday to December 9.
Featured in the exhibition are sculptures the artist makes from materials that relate to the basic elements of the world: wind, earth, fire and water. She explores identity and belonging through different sculptural forms and materials, and invites the viewer to reflect on these themes both from a local and universal standpoint. Hadjinicola incorporates found objects from Cyprus such as copper, rocks, Cypriot squashes, clay from Cypriot soil and beeswax – materials which are strongly connected to local craft-making techniques and traditional practices.
