“Forgotten” by Olga Guarch Andreu interrogates the silenced history of lesbians over the centuries through the delicate wrapping of the corset. The piece articulates tension between beauty and censorship, visible presence and absent memory
The meshes symbolize social, political, and cultural limitations; the shine refers to traces of resistance, love, and creativity that persist in art, politics, and culture.
The sculpture honors historical figures such as Stormé DeLarverie, Mercedes de Acosta, and Claude Cahun, who challenged norms and defended lesbian and queer visibility. Includes a golden chain for hanging, turning the piece into an interactive element that engages with space and the viewer. “Forgotten” symbolizes resistance, memory, and freedom of expression.
