About the collection

The "My Wabi Sabi" collection is the fifth author's collection by Irena Zemanová. Art quilts and objects made of textile and non-textile materials will be exhibited, which, in addition to well-known art techniques, were also created by combining textiles with concrete or plastic, upcycling and recycling materials. The inspiration for the author was the concept of Japanese aesthetics wabi sabi, which is aimed at accepting beauty in its imperfection and transience. The works from the "My Wabi Sabi" collection are focused on the theme of sustainability and textile production, and their message will be captured in the author's haiku.
