Large violet fields define the surrounding space – distant, dominant, and emotionally heavy. A bright lime-green core cuts through this field, marking an inner landscape shaped by vulnerability and change. The strong contrast between these colors reflects tension between the individual and external conditions. Violet suggests pressure and uncertainty, while lime-green signals inner energy and the need for movement. As the colors overlap, the work presents adaptation as an ongoing, unresolved process rather than a stable outcome.

- Possible color deviations are due to light, monitor and camera.

"Integration" series
The project is dedicated to exploring the transformation of personality and the interaction between one’s inner world and the external environment. The work emerged from personal experiences and observations of the changes that occur within a person when the familiar confronts the new. Through working with colour and abstract form, I explore the processes of human adaptation in new conditions, the loss or weakening of basic identity, both cultural and psychological.

At the core of these works is the dynamic interaction between mainly two complimentary colours, enriched with a multitude of shades and accents. One color embodies a person’s internal emotional landscape, their aspirations, motivations, conflicts, experiences, and fears. The other color reflects the external environment, which may be entirely new initially unfamiliar, alien, and full of challenges, yet also offering new opportunities and a sense of moral and ethical freedom or familiar and comprehensible, yet having become alien, toxic, and rejecting of the individual and their beliefs.
