About her work:
Apollinaria Broche’s practice explores myth, mysticism and transformation through hybrid sculptural forms. Her creations take the shape of flowering plants intertwined with skulls, limbs, snakes and sprite-like beings, inviting viewers into a surreal, fairy-tale universe. With organic materials and elaborate craftsmanship, her pieces oscillate between beauty and unease, evoking narratives both ancient and imagined.
