Junkcija / Junction (2020–)



Homegrown apple on a painted stone. This sculpture is an hommage to our family picnics in Luče, Slovenia. My grandma holding a baby bottle filled with warm milk. My grandma gave me these two pieces of foam and told me to make something interesting with them, so this is what I created.  A mind map created using two pieces of painted styrofoam, a leaf from my mother's garden, and two foamy pieces given to me by my grandma. My grandma holding her homegrown cucumber. A metal brain teaser. Behind the tatami sculpture is an archival photograph of Slovenian mountains taken by my grandfather. A piece of dry gluten-free bread that I found in our kitchen, standing upright in the plastic bag, just like this. A sculpture made from a can of beans, a piece of folded paper, a printed photograph of the sky, an orange, a lemon, a biscuit, and a potato from my grandparent's field. Here are my grandparents. I took this photo of them when I was very young. My grandma told me that this is one of the first photos I ever took. A scan of a popped Tetra Pak Erik ice tea, which was popular in Slovenia when I was a child. It is hard to find nowadays. An air-filled carton makes a satisfying bang when popped.  A composition made with five different-colored chopsticks, four tuna cans, and a balloon. A picture of my grandma balancing a tatami chain. This sculpture is built with two different sponges and a painted papier-mâché piece. An archival picture of my grandfather sleeping on the couch. I've created this sculpture using an old leftover tile from our basement and four layers of polyurethane foam.
