„ICON“ ist eine Wandarbeit, in der Jaworski einen zwinkernden Smiley aus einem etwa 4,7 Milliarden Jahre alten Eisenmeteoriten aus dem chinesischen Altai-Gebirge schneidet. Während der Smiley als digitale Sprache und minimalistischer Code menschlicher Emotionen nur für den Moment existiert, bleibt der Meteorit als physische Spur über Jahrmilliarden hinweg bestehen. Die gegenübergestellten Zeitlichkeiten – digital und kosmisch – treffen in „ICON“ zusammen und brechen mit gewohnten Vorstellungen von Beständigkeit, Materialität und Wert. So reflektiert Jaworski die Vergänglichkeit von Sprache, die Wahrnehmung von Dauer und die Relativität von Zeit.

“ICON” is a wall object in which Jaworski cuts a winking smiley face out of an approximately 4.7 billion-year-old iron meteorite from the Altai Mountains in China. While the smiley as a digital language and minimalist code of human emotions only exists for the moment, the meteorite remains as a physical trace for billions of years. The juxtaposed temporalities - digital and cosmic - come together in “ICON” and break with familiar notions of permanence, materiality and value. Jaworski thus reflects on the transience of language, the perception of duration and the relativity of time.
