Ticket

Artist: David Jurko, Slovenia

Description:

The artist often finds himself reflecting on what life might be like outside his homeland, imagining the experiences and opportunities that exist beyond the familiar. This sense of contemplation is a key influence in his artwork, which draws inspiration from old-school train tickets. These tickets symbolize both departure and journey: moments of transition between places, identities, and lives. In his work, he aimed to capture an almost realistic representation of these tickets, while allowing room for artistic freedom. By blending precise details with a more expressive approach, he seeks to evoke the emotional weight of travel and the desire to explore new horizons, while also acknowledging the deep connection to one’s roots.
