Ivanka Stavreva – Ivi (Bulgaria)

The collection of bags it offers is the result of an accumulation of past and present searches, impressions, conversations, touches, drawings… What they all have in common is the recreation of the shape of the mountain. The bags will be made of leather, wool, silk… While some of them will have embroidery or a print of horses, others visually remind of the mountain silhouette….

“There is no person who can encompass the Rhodope Mountains with one glance. There is no peak to climb to get to know her at a glance. You have to go through it, suffer it, and then collect it in your heart and look at it: but you have to have the heart of an eagle. You cannot see the Rhodopes with

your eyes, you have to see it with your heart.”
