SOLD by The Krank (@the.krank )
140m2 land art installation for @paxosbiennale MANIFESTO OF MEMORY
SOLD is an artwork created on a beach using stones collected on site, with the dark ones forming the word SOLD. The choice of the word is highly charged, suggesting the commodification and privatization of land and coastline. The juxtaposition of the natural beauty with human intervention and development adds a dimension of timeliness and urgency to the work.
The placement of the word on the ground, reminds of the stamps used in real estate sales and serves as a form of protest. The work invites the viewer to consider the environmental and social consequences of selling, exploiting land and building development. SOLD is therefore not only an artistic creation, but also a political statement. In this way, I add my voice to a broader dialogue on environmental justice and sustainability.

I used a big part of land as a canvas and worked in silence for 15 days with my message. My artwork is spotlighting the urgent need for a balance between economic growth, social well-being and environmental conservation while the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the global energy crisis continues to cast a shadow over global sustainable development discussions.

Gaze of Trauma is a series of works about how seeing can affect us. The glasses no longer help us see, they show what happens because we see. The line between inner pain and the outside world starts to disappear.
Looking is not passive. What we see doesn’t just stay outside us, it enters us and leaves a mark. This artwork shows the idea that trauma doesn’t stay hidden inside. Instead, it pushes outward, turning the act of seeing into something painful that reaches into the world. Gaze of Trauma 01 is collaboration with @etniahouseofarts
