Currently, I am working on a significant project called "Entire Cosmos in My Womb," which is divided into three parts, each symbolizing a major emotion I experienced during my fertility and medical journey.
The first emotion is faith. The segment "Mythology of Me" is dedicated to this emotion, highlighting the primal memory of faith that I felt strongly during my medical treatments. Like my ancestors, the spirit protectors are helping me during this time.
The second part of the project is my own Tarot deck, created with the assistance of AI to design the backgrounds for the cards. I noticed that during periods of anxiety and lack of control over the process, I became superstitious. This superstitious behavior, such as looking for signs, only occurred during those vulnerable moments and ceased once the treatment concluded.
To make the project even more engaging, I've expanded it with more works in this series, playing with the theme and "breaking the fourth wall" between myself and the viewers. I go beyond the canvas by creating masks, animations, and performing live Tarot readings. These performances invite viewers into my world, transforming my personal journey into a shared, immersive experience.
I plan to create immersive experiences for my project, including Emotion Rooms, where themed rooms for each major emotion—faith, fragility, and fight—use sensory elements like sound, light, and texture to immerse visitors. There will be a Community Canvas, a collective artwork that evolves with viewer contributions, symbolizing shared experiences and collective faith. Story Sharing sessions will allow visitors to share their stories of faith, superstition, and vulnerability, which will be documented and incorporated into the project. I will also feature Live Storytelling, a narrative-driven performance combining theater, dance, and visual art to depict the fertility journey, and Ritual Reenactments, which will recreate ancient fertility and protection rituals, involving the audience. Additionally, Art and Healing workshops will enable participants to create art inspired by their emotional journeys, guided by professional artists. Finally, Expert Panels will include talks with medical professionals, psychologists, and spiritual leaders discussing the intersections of fertility, faith, and superstition.
My work sits at the crossroads of two disparate worlds: the advanced biotechnology of today and the primal, ancestral forces within us. Drawing from my personal experience with fertility struggles, I explore the tension between scientific progress—embodied in practices like IVF—and the deep, ancient memories of the body. The paintings in my Baroque anarchist series reflect this conflict, combining the clinical and the instinctual, the technological and the primal.
Informed by the classical techniques of Baroque painting, I bring a contemporary sensibility to themes of fertility, womanhood, and bodily autonomy. Through the language of still life and anatomy, I depict the body as both a garden and a battlefield, where biological processes—often shrouded in stigma—become a space for healing, transformation, and resistance. My practice is a response to the profound disconnect between the age of science and the ancestral instincts that pulse within us, as I fight not only against personal barriers but against the still-prevalent social stigma surrounding female health.
With each layer of paint, I seek to unearth the complexity of human experience, from the intimate and the private to the larger, systemic forces that shape our bodies and our identities. In this series, the tension between biotechnology and the ancient human experience is explored as an ongoing, ever-evolving conversation, one that I continue to engage with as I navigate both the possibilities and limitations of modernity.
