The starting point for Viki Berg's work was a series of flowers in a primitive style, which over time developed into a critical examination of socially conditioned notions of beauty and their opposites.
Her works combine organic forms with unsettling elements, opening up a space in which psychological and emotional aspects of human experience are reflected. In the exhibition “Fäden des Seins” – “Threads of Being”, she presents textile works that explore nature, society and art as interconnected themes. She draws her inspiration primarily from nature as a complex, harmonious system.
