This piece is both a poetic and visual meditation on the human body, time, and cyclical transformation. It merges drawing and form into a unified, tactile narrative.
Created with paint, graphite, pencil on paper its surface is further enriched by raised plywood shapes covered in textile. Some of these elements extend beyond the boundaries of the white frame, disrupting its rectangular order. The physical texture resembles a body that absorbs, sweats, melts, moistens, or evaporates. These sculptural additions not only expand the visual field but become metaphors themselves. Here, fluids are understood not only in a literal sense, but emotionally as well.
A text fragment runs through the composition, speaking about how body, nature, and emotions intertwine: the thaw of spring, the sweat of summer, the sniffles of autumn, and the longing of winter. These are experiences not only processed through thought, but felt through skin, eyes, lips. The words are not separate from the visual – they unfold together with the materials, as part of a shared human condition. The artwork’s physicality reminds us that our feelings are also matter: drops, tears, sweat, saliva, blood.
in spring, the ice melts
waters rush away
in summer, rivers shrink
patience thins
cheeks burn
teeth grind
in autumn, the nose runs
eyes go red again
a maiden marries
and leaves for a far, warm land
in winter, hot wine
held close to trembling lips
you run, human, run
like a hamster in its wheel
strength drains drop by drop
and every evening, you embrace
the damp corner of the blanket
and whisper your prayer to god
