The object "Golden tears" is a sculpture made in the form of a white mask, on which are depicted eyes with closed eyelids. From the eyes, instead of tears, long golden threads descend, creating the impression of tears.
This unique art object can be perceived as a deep metaphor for human experiences, combining elements of beauty, emotion, isolation and causing the viewer to think, forcing them to ask questions about the nature of pain and sensations.
The work becomes a symbol not only of vulnerability, but also of strength, coming from the depths of human experiences. This art object expresses how beauty can arise from interpersonal pain and personal reflection.
