Born in 1973 Zagreb, Croatia.

Together Forever

The work Together Forever presents a flock of inflatable PVC swans. The swans are presented as symbols of togetherness; specifically, they spend most of their lives with the same partner and raise their young together. Swans that lose their partner often ‘remain widowed’ for the rest of their lives, which makes them symbols of loyalty. Even though we constantly express a great desire for togetherness and eternal love, increasingly often we are witnessing damaged and broken relationships that lead to great pain, alienation and separation as the source of many of our frustrations and anger. For the artist, this work actually represents a fantasy on an ideal relationship without much effort, the relationship that is self-explanatory and taken for granted. By letting the air out, however, everything can instantly remain a sheer illusion. Paulina Jazvić (Zagreb, 1973) has been active in the field of fashion and visual arts since the very end of 1990’s.
