Theme
Ornamentation is inextricably linked with notions of beauty and symbolism. The esthetic element it adds, superfluous but nonetheless essential, transforms a bland backdrop into a unique setting, brimming with life and meaning. Such settings, both private and public, colour our everyday lives as expressions of the modern desire to assert and display our individual and collective identities. In the hands of artists, ornamentation becomes an illustration – sometimes poetic, sometimes critical – of our conduct and our values.
