Gone with the wind. About nature of passion, creativity and inspiration

Collective unconscious. We often deceive ourselves, we see what we want to see and not what is really there.

Fears of tears. About self-believe, overcoming your fears and responsibility to those who depend on you.

The memory.

The reader

Spring. This work echoes David Hockney's work with budding daffodils “Remember, they can’t cancel the spring”which he painted during the pandemic. Spring express a desire and force to create harmony and the need of hope after these trying years. ‘Spring’ as a metaphor for a fresh start.

This ironic box of candy “Sweeteners” depicts the sweets which imitate gestures and poses that people often use in front of the camera when hiding their true self under mask of a happy and carefree person. By using familiar visual cues, we endeavour to conform to societal expectation.

The formula of serotonin. The clicking of a pop-it symbolizes the imitation of actions, disguising the fear of stepping out of the comfort zone and facing reality.

Waiting room. This is a metaphor for our society, characters that manifest themselves in different ways in critical circumstances. Often ambitious and protesting people lose heart, get disappointed. But those who do not lose hope, support others and give them warmth, ultimately save the world.
