PURITY OF THE BEGINNINGS
Stories are how we begin. Before science, before form—there is the narrative. Through myths, dreams, and archaic memories, this work aims to piece together fragments of a deeper language: one that doesn't always speak in words, but in symbols, figures, and rhythms of the unconscious.
In this body of work, I explore creation as a storytelling act—a ritual of assembling meaning from the incomprehensible. Drawing from mythology, archetypes, and dream logic, I construct visual narratives that straddle the line between the familiar and the strange. Each image becomes a stage, a psychic landscape, where invented creatures, hybrid forms, and cosmic elements play out timeless dramas of coming into being.
This is not just about telling stories—it is about being told by them, letting them shape us as we shape them. I am interested in how myths echo psychological truths: the hero’s journey as a mirror of transformation, the creation through mother nature, the minimal as a gate to something more primal.
The process is instinctive. I will be gathering and reassembling pieces—personal, ancestral, fictional—until something begins to live. Creation becomes an act of remembering something, going deeper in the subconsciousness and find ways to navigate.
In a world fragmented by information, I turn toward the ancient and the intuitive, toward that which can't be proven but deeply felt. In these visual stories, I search for a space where the inner and outer worlds meet, and where meaning is not declared but discovered.

This project examines the human need for storytelling, investigating how narratives shape our psychology and resonate with the universal language of myths. At its heart, the work invites a contemplative state of looking—an homage to light as guidance, a journey to uncover roots and belonging, and a quest to understand our place within the grand narrative of history. The work encourages viewers to embrace a sense of calmness and fragility, immersing themselves in the intricate interplay of patterns, shapes, and colors. It offers an invitation to pause, reflect, and enter a dreamlike state—a meditation on the ephemeral nature of presence, light, stars, matter and time. Using techniques such as collage-making, embroidery, and pattern design, the process itself mirrors the themes of breaking down and rebuilding, moving from fragments to wholeness. This act of creation illuminates the delicate and profound connection between existence and meaning, inviting a deeper exploration of how and why we compose meaning, how we communicate and preserve it, and how we access it across the continuum of time and space.
