Searching for balance

In a monumental installation filled with meaningful objects—including an altar, horse paraphernalia, and references to religion and family—an open, vulnerable quest unfolds. Ilona offers no ready-made answers, but instead shares her self-doubt and changing self-image. This makes the transformation not only visible but also palpable. Her work balances between the sacred and the mundane, between listlessness and urgency, between the theatrical and the sincere. With a sense of the joy of creation and performance, and with a certain lightness, she creates space for the impossible and for something that cannot be fully grasped, but is experienced all the more powerfully. The installation feels like an invitation to participate in a personal ritual—to open up, to look, and to see something of yourself reflected back.
