By confronting the artistic work of her own mother, Elsa Stanyer begins to discover unconscious parallels and echoes in her own artistic practice and that of her mother. This juxtaposition forms the conceptual framework of the exhibition. The inclusion of the unseen work of another person, in this case her own mother, who was compelled to abandon her artistic activities, when she became a mother, is understood as a reflective momentum of the self and a "digestive" gesture of an inherited identity. The exhibition Ungrowing refers to cyclical states and notions of growth: the works on display reflect not only processes of growing up or outgrowing, but above all the impossible withdrawal or reversal of organic and biological processes such as social roles.
