my Temporary Protected Spaces Those spaces are usually inside my head and usually filled with thoughts, ideas, inspirations. Temporary, because from time to time they manage to go out and materialise. The idea of the Growing man started growing maybe 2 years ago, with the dream of the human figure made out of leaves, sticked on the wall.
Fortunately the growth was enough to break the shelter and make its way through the selection process and find its place in the quiet and shady quarter in the centre of Sofia. In the process of forming and creating the art piece, I confirmed my experience, that the art needs time to develop, and mostly this happens on its own, you have to adapt to it. The original idea is only the start of the process. And the last touch is that of the time.
in the space between in the shadow of a new man
We live in interesting times, not just because we are those, who are alive, but because lot of global processes are going on, one leaping the other. In my short lifetime I have seen lot of changes, some for good, some for bad, lots of fluctuactions, but a certain feeling for a certain change stays. In the space between the materials, forming the man, there the nature seed grows. The western view towards man and nature, in particular the separation between, comes into equilibrium with the eastern perspective of oneness. The static of the present human comes into contact with the fluid nature flow of the never stopping growth and renuverashion. Slowly and steadily, the gaps will be filled, the shadow will be projected over, but as a representation of the thing, catching the light.
The work is located in the southern wall of the garden in Lavele Hostel, Sofia, Bulgaria. Thanks to my brother for supporting me. Let it grow.
