Klára Samcová (*1995, Prague, Czech Republic)
Klára Samcová explores materials, technologies, and the relationship between humans and their environment, with a focus on textiles. She views material as a bearer of memory and energy, engaging with it across media. Her work examines how meaning is embodied through structure, touch, and physical proximity, often reflecting interpersonal and social tensions, intimacy, and mutual dependence.
