"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.
This interplay, this internal conflict and its manifestations— the processes of acceptance or rejection by one’s surroundings, stress and its overcoming, learning, the initial incompatibility of internal convictions with new external conditions, their mutual influence, the search for mental resilience, and adaptation—forms the foundation of my project.
