In these works, she continues the theme of the mystery of fragility and strength in life, familiar from her previous works, both the helmet series and the “Secret Garden” series. With contrasts.
In the new works, she works with POTENTIAL, with possibilities, with materials, with movements, with transformation, with libido as a source of vitality and with life´s eternal journey from Darkness to Light and from Light to Darkness.
“Darkness is the beginning of all things, the source from which all living things come and into which they will one day fade and disappear. Light comes and goes. Darkness is eternal. Light distinguishes. In the darkness, the contours, boundaries and essences of things and beings melt together. Light contains Darkness, Darkness contains Light,” the artist muses.
