Veronika Fabian’s work explores key societal issues of recent decades, filtering her observations through the lens of jewelry. Subverting our conventional understanding of well-known forms and meanings of jewelry, her work comments on the human condition with special emphasis on everyday life and personal identity. Once Upon A Time is a continuation of Veronika’s series with chains speaking to the notion of identity in the modern world. While her previous Rebellious Chains (2017) were inspired by her own artistic journey towards jewelry, and Chains for an Average Woman (2018) highlighted the diverse roles society encourages in women, this newest body of work reflects on the identity crisis of our times.
