About the Artwork
An original piece created in collaboration by Artashes Sardarian and Kathrin Marchenko.

This artwork presents a sculpted hand formed from metal mesh, transformed into a symbolic canvas.

• Fractured textures: The surface of the hand carries visible cracks, evoking the fragility of the human condition, time’s passage, and inner vulnerability.

• Butterflies in flight: Embroidered butterflies emerge from these fissures, symbolizing rebirth, resilience, and the transformative power of beauty.

• Contrast of strength and delicacy: The rigid metal mesh contrasts with the softness of threads, capturing the duality of human experience — both fragile and enduring.

A poetic representation of transformation through imperfection, this unique piece merges sculptural form and embroidery into a meditation on fragility, hope, and renewal.
