Maja Hawlina
----------------------------------------------- I walk on slippery ground. Advertising is my starting point; at the same time, I'm interested in topics which speak - aswriter Andrej Blatnik once nicely put it - of live wounds and life nectar. These range from the nonsense and banality of everyday life to the problems of marginalised groups and endangered species; from ignorance and empty knowledge to social inequality and omnipresent violence. Yet I'm equally intrigued by the other face of this world, with all of its outbursts of imagination, beauty, humour and happiness. In my work I try to give an account of things I personally find important, which I believe to be important for society; of those who have touched me, insulted me or made me happy.
