The exhibition marks a crucial phase in the creative process. The works—and their composition within the physical space—reflect everything observed both within and beyond the self. The gallery becomes a kind of laboratory, where individual content is transmuted into collective connection.

These pieces are part of an ongoing quest that began unconsciously in 2014, one that continually propels me to explore the relationship between the inner self and the external world. Over time, I’ve come to understand that this journey is also one of self-discovery—a deepening dialogue with the soul. INWARD points to that movement: directed into the depths of being, where nothing is physical and everything familiar is confronted by the unconscious.

In this invisible, non-material realm, subtle forces stir and shift—guiding and influencing the core of one’s presence in daily life. Accordingly, the exhibition is designed not only for the viewer but also for myself: to witness the flow of the inner world and to transform the artwork into a mental space for reflection and discovery.

During my student years, I often worked with intuition more than conscious thought. Unknowingly, intuition led me toward psychoanalysis and into an artistic practice that gradually fused thinking with action, theory with practice. These are stages in the creative process where inner content manifest into visuals, and where the essence of the “Self“ demands sustained attention. It is a long journey, shaped by cycles of light and shadow, much like the earth’s passage between sun and moon. Perhaps this process holds within it the quiet movement of individuation—a rediscovery of the lost connection with the soul’s voice. 

The works on display depict four distinct phases of this personal journey – dream, endeavour, identity and formation. All stem from a shared origin, which is also the inspiration behind the exhibition’s title.
