Description:

In “Archive of Disjointed Dreams”, the artist constructs a delicate tension between chaos and control, absurdity and recognition. The dominant central element — a tangle of black lines and splatters — reads like a neural map, a cognitive trap, or the tangled remains of a dream struggling to be remembered.

From within this graphic turbulence, fragmented figures emerge: a rooster, a woman, and an anthropomorphic beast. They appear as dream remnants, slipping between the literal and the symbolic. The rooster stands as a ritualistic call to wakefulness; the woman dissolves into a stream of blue, as though identity itself is melting; while the animal-headed character observes silently — perhaps a witness, perhaps a trickster.

The work references suprematism not through geometry but through gesture — an intentional detachment from reality. This “archive” contains no order, only the intuitive rhythms of inner myth and personal absurdity.

Curatorial Note:

“Archive of Disjointed Dreams” offers no narrative, no key. It asks us to dwell in the not-knowing. The canvas becomes a liminal field, where the viewer assumes the role of the dreamer, and every figure is a key that opens no door. It is a space before language — a net of flickering images, alive only in the corner of consciousness.”
