Artist Statement
During the process of creating these paintings, the artist was inspired by Eastern folklore supernatural beliefs and tales. She started to work on a ten-meter-long painting which led her to a process of creation by repetition. This repetition is depicted in the form of a loop; a circle of real and fantasy worlds. Through these repetitions, the border of the two universes starts to get blurred which creates a state of phenomenological uncertainty. The second part of the project contains a set of portraits. This is the artist’s attempt to enter this new universe and try to take out all of these creatures to our side of reality, to reveal their identity, as if they exist and have names.
