“New World” Series
The new image I present is a projection of how the new generations need to
see these structures of power -with a fresh, joyful, fun spirit, taking away the
seriousness of the subject and playfully make them accessible and friendly.
New generations are the continuation of our evolving world; they are
witnessing the fast change in technology and everyday new discoveries
of the vast universe of which we are part. These works bring a new
way of seeing what is without fear, and proposing a new idea more
accurate with our current needs of no judgment and allowing each
other to be unique. In the over valuation of a belief, in imposing
the traditional ways, we stop or make it harder for the new to
flourish and make its mark in the world. “NEW WORLD”
series allows the mind to replace the conventional and
extend its possibility of never - ending creativity, and
makes us eager for the next. This is something that
we all need to be aware of: the new replaces the
old, life is short, and it is supposed to be fun.
Similar to my previous works, I will paint
them to look like basket weaving to show
the interconnectedness between all of
us and nature. Starting and finishing
each work in harmony with the lunar
pattern like farmers do to plant their
seeds, I will be planting an idea.
