Our bodies, our gestures, the weights we hold even unconsciously shape the energy we express in ways our words may not convey. There’s a truth-telling to that. “Drawing in Air” captures that energy in these young people — the struggle, the hope, and the light that comes with learning to carry the weight they’re given. - Cate McQuaid, Boston Globe, 2024
THE BOSTON GLOBE, KLEDIA SPIRO: TOO (UN)FAMILIAR? Like many this last year, Spiro, a multimedia artist and weightlifter born in Albania, contemplated what home means. She rooted herself in the landscape of the Wachusett Reservoir, reflecting on the constancy of nature and the changes of an immigrant’s life. In photos and a video here, she ties the themes together, attempting to literally do what many children of immigrants do figuratively: Lift her parents up.
