Item Queen Esther Mosaics: The hidden and the revealed(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2014) Broca, LilianAs our world becomes more and more fractured in the 21st century, the archetypal story of individualism can be compared to fragmented elements (tesserae) being made whole again; we can’t heal the world until we heal ourselves. My work is a reconstruction of an ancient story using ancient and contemporary materials, i.e. I cut glass (deconstruction) and then assemble those pieces to form new shapes which thus acquire a new life. The Esther Mosaics reveal a personal interpretation of the story of Queen Esther which brings forth ideas about women’s role in our society, which also extend to more universal statements about the human condition.
