"Like a River in the desert" explores the journey through the desert as a metaphor for personal and artistic exploration. The desert, derived from the Latin word "désertum," symbolizes abandonment, transition, hardship, purification, and learning. The artist sees this harsh landscape as an essential part of a broader voyage that involves confronting difficulties and discovering new perspectives.
In this work, I break away from traditional square formats, moving toward sculptural forms. Starting with a square wooden frame, the canvas is stretched and transformed into various shapes, pushing the boundaries of what a painting can be. This process raises numerous questions about the outcome, sustainability, and the interplay of light and shadow. I embrace the technical challenges and the possibility of failure, viewing these risks as integral to the creative process.
Symmetry, palindromes, and reverse mirroring are key elements in the work, reflecting nature's order within chaos, the repetition of intentions, and the exploration of opposites to find balance. Each piece is unique, hand-made, and intentionally imperfect, reminding viewers of the human touch in its creation.
Returning to the desert, I reflect on how the vast, empty landscape challenges our city-centric mindset, where straight lines and boundaries dominate. The desert’s emptiness evokes a sense of freedom and constraint, inspiring a vision of balance amid adversity. A river, imagined as a mirage, symbolizes hope and the creation of equilibrium. Ultimately, the artist values the balance found or created through the journey more than the destination itself, emphasizing that belonging is rooted in our experiences rather than the places we inhabit.
