Brick by Brick is a personal action of solidarity with Palestine. This series of works include 3 three dimensional pieces; each work is comprised of a drawer (found object), in which the artist created a composition of elements. Every single one of these drawers consists of figures of children, juxtaposed on a disconsolate background.

To symbolize the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, the artist decided on using cut-out silhouettes of Palestinian children, the most afflicted of all, to whom this war unjustly denies future. As the background of these children’s photos, Urso created a prospective scenario – a scenographic setting, built on several superimposed levels. This scenario consists of photos depicting the city of Gaza – for decades the theatre of clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian resistance.

Next to each child, the artist placed a used toy, a readymade object from daily life. These toys are destroyed, torn apart. In this way, he wanted to emphasize the childhood these children have been robbed of. The drawer, symbolically a collector of memories, becomes in this case a reliquary of desires and ambitions denied.

Moreover, the ground is made from pieces of bricks taken from Muranów, the district of Warsaw (Poland) which was once the Jewish Ghetto of the city, set up by the occupying Germans in 1940. The correspondence of all these elements create, constructs a dialogue between the two countries (Palestine and Poland) because, for various reasons, they shared the condition of occupation and depravation of territories. By utilizing elements of a wall used to enclose a group, Urso is speaking out against building divisions.
