What kind of ties?

RØRT

Denmark

Freshwater pearls, silk thread, 14 kt gold. Flag: red polyester fabric. Photo: paper, foam
cardboard. Photo holder: wood.

Our work, a four-person-pearl necklace, with the excact form of the cross in the Danish flag was made to comment on the current rightwing and very refugee-hostile environment provided by the government. One of the parties often use the Danish flag, "Dannebrog" to illustrate Danish values, but they have mistreated the flag so it now stands for something else. Or does it? Is it communities, difficulties or something other? The pearlnecklace is hard to wear but the form will fall apart if one takes it of.
