This work was part of my exhibition Columna Cochlis, held at Vabaduse Gallery in Tallinn in 2026. In this work, I explore the connection between ancient traditions, memory and the gradual emergence of form. Inspired by folk myths and the aesthetics of ancient crafts, I combine intuitive exploration with experimentation in materials and textures. Rather than illustrating a specific story, I allow forms and associations to emerge naturally through the process of making, creating a dialogue between past and present. In this work, I was inspired by the myth surrounding the conception of Alexander the Great. According to legend, a god appeared to his mother at night in the form of a serpent and impregnated her.
