Born in 1996 in Kaunas, Lithuania, Barbora Žilinskaitė is a designer and artist based in Brussels, Belgium. Her work challenges our perception of everyday objects by infusing them with anthropomorphic forms, blurring the boundaries between the animate and inanimate. Encouraging a dialogue with objects, it prompts reflection on our conventional worldviews and the connections between us and our environment, inviting us to question the boundaries that we construct between the human and non-human. Embracing the opportunity to momentarily pause logic, unlock the invisible, and explore the unknown within our daily lives, it fosters contemplation of the reciprocal relationship between individuals and the material world.
