ABOUT THE ARTWORK

MIla Gvardiol is interested in the symbology of stairs. She has explored their history and meaning being attracted precisely by their duality and dilemma of whether we are climbing up or going down. Architecturally, stairs are a constructive element by which we vertically join spaces of different levels, and Mila’s can emotionally be read as the stairs of our souls. The link between what has passed and what we expect on our way, a combination of different decisions and states – scalinata as a universal symbol of our rises and falls. Looking at the works from the series Quo Vadis, we notice that the artist skillfully toys with our existence in space and time as she always offers only a detail of the staircase, we can never see the whole architectural construction. The observer must focus on “hic et nunc”, on this given moment of his existence, the past and the future are both abstracted.
