Pollens in the window display come into colour. Magnified particles inspired by the microscopic structure of pollen are floating freely in space, like on stage at a concert.

"To become aware of the existence of the invisible." Kamilla Szeli has been making textile sculptures and installations for almost four years. She is concerned with the invisible universe: microscopic landscapes, organisms, dreams, subterranean worlds, and as couplings: the symbolism of birth, childhood visions, sense of confinement and its grotesque representations and contexts. Her work is also characterised by the use of contrasts between metal and textiles, combining a sense of cold and softness.

Kamilla Szeli (2000) is a student of sculpture at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts. In 2023, with her sculpture Indigofera, she participated at the Flaszter - 1st Budapest Biennale of Outdoor Contemporary Art, organised by the Budapest Gallery. She had a solo exhibition at the Calvary in Epreskert, and participated in group exhibitions at MAMŰ Gallery and ISBN gallery.
