Some days we find ourselves on an obscure road of eternal darkness. You don‘t know who you are and where you want to go. Your own reality becomes distorted and the perception of ordinary things suddenly becomes abstract. You carry heavy ballast with you, a shadow that you cannot encounter.
CYCLES deals with the topic of depression and anxiety on a very abstract and visual level. It’s a topic that currently affects many people around the world and needs to be addressed. Already in the early history of art there were several approaches to visualize depression. CYCLES works with several elements to visually portray this dark side.
