Maja Babic Kosir draws material from her surroundings and her personal history, especially from her rich family archive of various materials, thus translating her intimate stories into the visual world through intuitive artistic interventions. It is a constant, continuous process of searching for beauty and balance in the world, which the artist does not understand as binary, as she wants to transcend relationships such as external and internal, personal and collective.
