Description:

This work is about the search for salvation and peace within oneself when the outside world becomes hostile and cruel.

The project is a map that leads to a safe space - a fictional, kind universe where everything works according to the rules defined by the author herself. Unlike real life, where any control is illusory, this world is predictable and offers shelter and relaxation.

The fictional world is what helps the author to find the strength to survive the pain and suffering of the real world. The artist hopes that her works will become a stop where everyone can take a break and maybe find a little more inspiration to continue the journey. They remind us that each of us can be a source of strength for ourselves, find our own refuge inside and provide support to ourselves and those around us to continue to fight the challenges of the outside world.
