About
In my artistic exploration, I consider the ways, in which people and animals In their everyday life attempt to harness the assistance of supernatural forces for combating chaos.
Whether as a form of upbringing, guidance passed down through generations or even as a tool of political manipulation at the state or clerical levels, the practice of protective magic against life‘s disorder holds holds an importance that can hardly be overestimated
My work serves as a visual narrative, delving into the intricate relationship between individuals and their belief systems. It goes beyond mere observation of folkloric material; it delves into questions that hold immediate practical relevance in the present day. I aim to portray superstition as a proactive practice and predominantly practical science. This entails examining the official role of magic in matters related to identity, body politics, political governance, societal order, criminology, capitalism, healthcare systems, and even in the realm of superstitions surrounding rodents. I draw inspiration from traditional motifs, customs, folklore, and myths, which I blend with scenes from everyday life. This fusion results in artworks that are simultaneously immersive and personal.
By exploring these themes, I invite to
contemplate the enduring influence of the superstitions in our lives, fostering a deeper understanding of our complex relationship with belief systems and rituals, where the lines between the supernatural and the
practical blur, and where the pursuit of order in the face of chaos remains a timeless
human endeavor.
