without roots / way out / 1

my project came from a simple everyday observation

the plant transplantation failed, they got sick, I had 2 options: watch them and wait for recovery or cut off the healthiest parts, exposing them to extreme stress, but save

the metaphor of separating the diseased roots from the green tops suddenly fell precisely into the trauma I was experiencing - to break off contact in order to save myself

I used the form of a still life, including the theme of gardening, referring to the initial experience, which led to a chain of reasoning, and mixed media added another layer to the narrative

ideologically, I have divided the received materials into three process chapters:

we are born with some kind of predisposition, forming about the environment - “formation”

then we encounter the world, trying to simultaneously fuse with it and separate ourselves - the “gap”

and then, if we have any strength left, we discard the diseased roots, look for new supports - a “way out”
