The Object Of Scorn
2024-2025
THE OBJECT OF SCORN is a narrative photo embroidery project that explores the concept of scorn that characterizes our times. Fascinated by the idea of monumentalism (derived from the Latin word moneo - to remember), as a symbol of scorn often expressed through destruction or oblivion, the project tells a story about how everything around us is made by successive generations and then fades away. Destruction is happening before our eyes, a result of the suffering that people inflict on each other and on the environment. This so-called object of scorn is in fact a part of us, a part of our present.
