#humans

Anca Boeriu and her humans... thinkers and flyers, whole silhouettes or just details, in groups or solitary, sometimes even without references to gender or identity. Because it's about the essence of the human being: a touch, a hug, an attitude...

In the context of isolation, mistrust and panic generated by the pandemic, these are the gestures that we have probably missed the most, because they relate to the intrinsic human needs: that of being together and of interacting emotionally through body language. These are the values that Anca Boeriu's artistic universe encapsulates in shapes, lines or dots, keeping the essence of the human being in a zone of empathy, apart from the tragic or morbid. These are the needs and values of which we are perhaps more aware today than ever before. Synthesized, they can be translated simply into... human nature. #human
