The installation MEANING in the shape of a Möbius Strip is an object created by combining a double-sided strip of fabric on the entire length of which - almost 20 meters - a collective portrait of Ergo Hestia volunteers was embroidered. The strip of linen on which the embroidery is made is stretched on a steel structure connected by the shorter sides, after being rotated 180 degrees. In this way, both sides of the strip of fabric - and therefore the embroidery - became one, endless surface. The embroidery featured over seventy people who initiated and/or took an active part in volunteer activities over the last dozen or so years.

​

The concept of the Meaning Ribbon was created by me at the invitation of Foundation of Hestia's Artistic Journey. I implemented the project in cooperation with many talented people. One of them is Zuzanna Karpińska who helped me with the embroidery. Thank You Zuza!

​

The conceptual and executive design of the structure was created by Paweł Paciorek. Structure prototyping: Marcin Papiernik and Jakub Mierzejewski. Responsible for prototyping the fabrics and their final production are: Sylwia Szefer and Arnold Szefer. The installation structure was made by Ferwor.
