The works were created as part of my diploma thesis at the Academy of Fine Arts.
The topic I have been dealing with lately touches on the broad area of "nature and civilization". My intention is to depict the shapes of wood and branches. Removed from its natural environment, wood becomes an independent aesthetic object, enclosed in an artificial space and viewed differently - through the eyes of people used to living in so-called civilization.
By depicting the branches in an artificial space, often indicated only by their shadows, I give prominence to shapes and structures that we can observe in a concentrated way. They can now evoke other bizarre shapes, from octopuses to snakes, wavelets, straight lines, etc. These shapes are highlighted by my manipulation and anyone can see anything in them, much like the clouds in the sky.
On a second look, things may appear that we didn't see the first time. J. J.
