Installation “Inner light” consist of two parts – external and inner energy visualization. Individual is thread connected to light element that symbolize inner light.
Philosophy of human nature is heart of the project. I investigate question of emotions, society influence and human being. Human exist in the world that is full of symbols, everything around have symbolic meaning. Individual is connected to light element, like cords of feelings are connected to inner light.
Inner light as symbol of struggle, one second reality, inconstancy entity.
The most important idea of installation presentation is – audience participation. I hope that my own experience will help others to realize own power and overcome fears. During the 2018-2019 fear become my usual guest, I felt anxiety when thinking about future, family, my art etc. I came to the point, when this feeling immersed me totally, and then I decided to visualize my inner power. During the process I was thinking about my energy, like an alive element that is part of me, warm and light. I tried to isolate this feeling, find it’s form, color and size. After all, with combination of nature materials and led stripe I created it, and at that moment feeling of fear started to disappear. The more I looked at it, the more I felt freedom from anxiety.
“Inner light” element and cords of emotions are touchable. When you are able to dip into the feeling, see and feel how it works- its much better than to hear about it. You can feel it’s energy, power, touch the form, see borders, and after all perceive power of your own light. Anxiety is just a feeling, when you are able to sense it, you are able to reduce it.
