“Buttons. Messengers of Love ”- brooches.

Felt, embroidery, 3-9 cm.2021. New collaboration with Alina! Winter faces and visual poems made up of just two characters, but behind each sequence is a love story that can be read in many ways. Did you know that the first use of the letter "X" as a kiss symbol dates back to 1763? "X" for a kiss, "O" for a hug! This is a special alphabet, for example, one "X" - sympathy, two - friendship, three - love! But this is approximate. How would you decipher the phrase "ХООХ"? Maybe a smack on the cheek / hug by the shoulders / and then suddenly grab in an armful, throw up / and kiss on the nose? And "XXOOOOH"? Incredible scope for imagination!
