Elena Strohfeldt — 'Spending Time with Friends'
$1,000
A sculptural vessel which formed part of Elena Strohfeldt's 'Gold' exhibition.
Each 'Gold' vase stands as a testament to the quiet victories that go unnoticed. In a world where achievements are often measured by grandiose accomplishments, this series of works turns the spotlight onto the seemingly mundane. It's a recognition that for some, the simplest tasks can feel like climbing mountains. Each vase, with its unique design and name, symbolises a "gold medal" – a reward for overcoming the obstacles that make ordinary activities challenging.
