In this diploma-series episode of the HIDDEN Podcast, sculptor Kateřina Šťastná traces a path from photography studies to sculpture, from fast ink sketches on a tram to embroideries that take hours to breathe into being. Her recent installation pairs five monochrome embroideries on chiffon, studded with glass beads, with tender yet grounded sculptures in plaster and concrete.
The through-line is breath: once a subject, now a tool for sensing shape without the limits of anatomy. The cycle also holds an intimate narrative about a mother–daughter relationship—how care can shelter, compress, and finally allow distance so both figures can grow.
