The root of happiness
Client: Self initiated
Project: Exhibition
Year: 2021
Altruist is a cosy urban café in the heart of Sofia where we had the opportunity to showcase some of our non-client work during the first wave of the Covid-19 nonsense. Some of our pieces from previous shows were ready to display, however, we felt it'd be cool to create something fresh just for the occasion. Since at that time most of us were isolated and worked from home, we decided to work on two separate projects, both in the field each one of us was currently comfortable with.
Tozzi went with the fabrication of a LED lamp with a steel frame in the shape of an аsterisk*. Handmade from start to finish – cut, welded, wired, and assembled in his home workshop. This piece now resides with Mirela Belova (Type Forward foundry).
Jacky chose to work on calligraphy experiments using masking fluid, ink, flat brushes, and a ruling pen on paper. The result was a series of framed 50 × 70 cm works. All sold out.
We were super fortunate to have Rosina Pencheva capture the process of bringing these pieces to life. As a result, we ended up as a part of her photographic project “Without and Audience” which documents the creative process of artists during this difficult period of the pandemic.
