Artwork description: In 2023, a very personal project was born in my work.
Touched by current, personal, and dramatic developments accompanied by intense feelings and reflections, I felt an irresistible urge to submerge into them. To knowing their anatomy. I focused my attention on the complexity of our lives, I started from what is visible on the outside in order to reach what is hidden, connected with numerous dependencies, remaining in a complicated network of relationships. Constantly going through various emotional and cognitive states, which I penetrated deeper and deeper. In addition, I experienced changes taking place at the level of relationships between people, which was associated with lost freedom, threat, and traumatic experiences. This strongly limited my inner space, locking me in emotional states from which I could not get out. This gave me an irresistible need to consciously delve into mental pain, loneliness, and fear, which my project became an expression of. At the same time, I was looking for an antidote to such a condition just as strongly. All this prompted me to make a glass spatial composition that tries to penetrate into the essence of things and at the same time maintain readiness for reflection and associations.
It involved not only my body and senses but also my soul. The most important moments of the realization became fleeting moments when I felt reunited with hot glass. The glass became an extension of me, came out of me. Attempts to penetrate deeper into matter allowed me to experience the essence of the process of penetration itself. The performative way of performing activities enabled me to learn the physicality of the material and the specificity of hot glass. These processes have developed an awareness of one's own capabilities and limitations. I have noticed that my possibilities are usually far greater than my actual achievements. They are disturbed by emotional and psychological blocks that inhibit creative potential. I wanted to open myself more to the lost values, the unwanted truth about myself.
Now I pass realization to the recipient, to you, so that you can try to engage your own sensitivity. And penetrate it while exploring the space of the installation I created. Now I'm putting it in your hands.
My conceptualization is nothing more than an eternal desire to explore the unknown, including myself and others.
