Karda Zenko

My work is driven by philosophical questions rather than narratives. I am interested in the tensions between opposing ideas—strength and vulnerability, freedom and limitation, innocence and responsibility, the visible and the invisible. Symbolism, mythology, and fairy tales become visual languages through which these questions can be explored rather than explained.
