The array of media presented at the exhibition varies of photography of still-life to portraiture, works on paper that are diary like and concrete objects, which are material manifestations of corporeal and personal relationships. All three media leave room to their individual and joint interpretation.

The uniqueness of the exhibition lies in the fact that although it is about the human, more precisely about the personal and intimate relationships of people, the body is not brought to the forefront necessarily. Instead the artist allots the partly concrete party ready made objects with well known characteristics of human relationships, therefore the human body doesn’t become the primary interest of desire and fascination. A concrete object is able to show not only the corporal’s, but the soul’s attributes, considering that the object bears the duality of toughness and fragility. The subject matter of family, mostly appearing on the photographs can be the starting point of interpretation for grown up relationships. These perceptions became visual indications of intimacy on the diary like notes.
