This piece is Lilian Beata Hauser’s In the End and is a Gobelin tapestry, a French technique for stitching using silk or wool. As the title suggests, the artist’s aim was to create a type of intellectual and expert rest stop in the midst of living a creative life. The strong and intellectual fabric represents a sense of motivation and drive in grabbing the attention of audiences and leading them on its intended path. At the end of this path, everything unites and becomes a part of the coexisting materialism, artist’s modesty, and silence of wisdom.
The piece does not need to be ironed or flattened out, conveying the message that the piece does not need to fulfill the physical standards of artistic beauty to be appreciated. In other words, beauty is found in the piece’s existence and the reality of its being.
