Tsvetomira Borisova's 'A Hot Day' at lo3eto, Vetren dol
From June 27 to August 20, 2026, Tsvetomira Borisova showcases 'A Hot Day' at lo3eto in Vetren dol, Bulgaria, with Vanya Grozdanova as the curator. The exhibition features a striking red clay sculpture of a woman lifting her skirt, drawing inspiration from ancient fertility symbols such as Sheela na gig and the Greek tale of Baubo. Additionally, it includes forty-nine ceramic apple tiles and a pencil drawing on an outdoor bench, exploring themes of fertility and temptation. The 40 cm sculpture is prominently displayed at the entrance, reminiscent of Byzantine iconography. The exhibition’s natural integration, with pink and green walls, reflects Borisova's unique color experience, while the curatorial text invites contemplation on voyeurism and intimacy.
