Andri Lambrou and Fotis Vasiliou

Artist Statement

The work Shared Structure is a handmade silver necklace composed of asymmetrical links with varying shapes and surfaces, some natural and some intentionally darkened. The chain has no fixed clasp; the wearer chooses where to connect it, determining its form and balance on the body. In the proposed configuration, a section hangs freely toward the front. Conceptually, the chain functions as a metaphor for social structures: each link retains its individuality within a shared system. Through multiple connection points and shifting forms, the piece suggests that even the smallest relational structures contain choices, positions, and ways of connecting, reflecting how differences and relationships shape the whole.
