“Ester Wiesnerova emerges with her provocative and ambitious debut, Blue Journal. Wiesnerova combines a pleasing and inventive product packaging with a very clear and intelligible artistic direction, manifesting itself quietly and with great gravity… assured, informed and vulnerable. This is a debut? Well, watch out then.”
