Helena Hafemann, a Wiesbaden, Germany-based artist, explores the intricate relationship between value and materiality in her Fadenschein series. In a thought-provoking process, she connects broken porcelain pieces with hundreds of delicate threads, creating a visual and conceptual bridge between destruction and beauty.
This series challenges the conventional perception of value, often tied to functionality, by presenting the aesthetic and emotional worth of shattered objects. Hafemann’s work invites viewers to ponder the transient nature of objects and the potential for transformation beyond their original purpose.
