ABOUT WELD QUEEN
Weld Queen sees the world as a paradoxical coexistence of matter and spirit, and all her works are primarily about this. Human is a unique essence: omnipotent, developing, capable of creating, and at the same time, it is a fragile flesh, impermanent, dependent on hedonistic impulses. In this dualism is hidden the impossible and at the same time natural harmony, which might be realized and accepted through the game only. "My creativity permits, removes barriers and says: "It is possible!" - ...to try, to experiment, to seek and not to be afraid of anything" - claims Weld Queen. The game puts one in the position of the observer, helps to see the picture comprehensively, remove contradictions and find a way to move on.
