A large-scale public art installation by Pavel Braila has been unveiled in Vienna. Titled "Your Happiness is in Your Own Hands”, it wraps around the Ringturm, the headquarters of Wiener Städtische Versicherungsverein.

Made up of 30 printed netting sheets, the 4,000-sqm artwork shows a colourful choreography of hand movements that serves as a guide to preparing sarmale. Using a minimalist visual language, Pavel Brăila puts the focus on the stories that are connected with the dish. For him, sarmale are closely linked to the experience of migration and living abroad. Preparing them is a gesture of belonging and a reminder of home.

A long-standing initiative of Wiener Städtische Versicherungsverein, this is the 18th artistic wrapping of the Ringturm. It will be on view until the end of September.
