About The Artwork

MNA 9 is a wall sculpture created from sakura petals and epoxy resin. Sakura is a symbol of "mono no aware" in Japan because of its short blooming period. The artist aims to restart and actualize the viewer’s perception of the sadness of the loss of the past to enhance the joy of the present and change the optics. A direct encounter with the material pattern of nature immerses the viewer in meditative reflections on the value of a fleeting moment and gives time and silence for self-searching. The viewer is allowed to see the world through the prism of "mono no aware" as the work is primarily transparent. This transparency is an empty space for the viewer's thoughts, values, and feelings. The work is fundamentally tuned to the tone of the environment and the audience's empathy. The experience of watching the end of the cherry blooming period fixed in a material object in an attempt to preserve an elusive beauty is protected from the barbaric intrusion of technologies and virtualities.

For me, constantly moving between countries, not verbal, but the visual language has become an actual form of communication. My art is about our inner processes, often mirroring in the outer world. Being born in a multicultural environment, I consider myself a citizen of the world. I combine elements of different times and cultural communities to show the absence of the need for separation, labeling. After all, we form all this together, in co-existence. Nature with its processes has become both my source of inspiration and the most suitable material for my works. I am interested in its symbolic properties, intertextuality, transformative qualities, energy, and mood. I unite opposites, such as the tenderness of flowers and the hardness of epoxy resin, thereby revealing the ambivalence of being. I tear objects out of their natural cycle, idealizing them, transforming the finite into a semblance of the infinite. My work focuses on our notion and perception of time. I celebrate the beauty of imperfection because every flaw is a trace of the inexorable elusiveness of time, evidence of experiential involvement, and, thus, an organ of self-identification. That’s why the contingency of the process and the errors resulting from the experimental move are important to my practice.
