From a hollow figure seated by Lake Geneva to a towering angel built from confiscated knives in England, these works show grief, burden, and quiet care. We visit a fragmented traveler in Venice, a face-in-hands mural in Gambettola, a mother bent under household weight in Torrelavega, a stone‑filled body in the U.S., a Rubens tribute in The Hague, and two hugging cabinets in Olsztyn.
