“What moves me is the essence of being human: that we are fragile, always changing, and in need of one another — and that seeing this clearly opens a deeper compassion.”
Emilia Breit is an artist who works with the inner shifts that arise in moments of loss and change — moments that reveal something essential about human nature. Her work traces how transformation unfolds: how something breaks, how tension appears, and how new forms begin to take shape.
She follows these movements through a material process that moves from order to rupture, from fragmentation to repair, and finally to forms that hold both what was and what has become.
Using materials such as parchment and metal, she creates sculptures in which breaking, mending, and re-forming become visible and tangible processes. These material transitions mirror the inner changes we live through but rarely see.
Her works make these quiet inner realities perceptible — inviting viewers to sense what is shared beneath individual experience: our fragility, our capacity for change, and our deep need for connection.
