In Stella Koleszár’s collages and glass sculptures, the human fears and desires symbolised by weeds are interlaced with allegorical figures of sin. In this sense, instead of a deliberately vile act committed by a human being, Misdeed rather becomes an allegory in itself: it symbolises the duality of the fall into sin by the soul and the body. The exhibition space becomes a place of a universal search for a path, built on personal experiences.
