Hanna-Liisa Lavonen ”Traageldades peidan tõde II”

The aim of the exhibition is to visualize mental instability and its burden. Activity refers to the inner wear, which is revealed by covering, repairing and shaping the outer shell – we shape ourselves like a loaded sculpture. The artist explores how to visualize the uncomfortable burden that we carry on our shoulders and that has taken on a functional and deceptive role in our daily lives.
