Running Away Towards You (2023)
Wool, plaster, recycled clothing and wire
34 x 22 x 12 cm
The piece delves into the tension between the ordinary and the extraordinary, exploring the fragility of a child's perception of reality.
At the age of six I encountered the surreal: my father’s friend, a magician, transformed two mundane stones into a living bird with a mere toss. The transformation was both mesmerizing and terrifying, an unexpected rupture of reality that left me frozen in awe and fear. The stones, once symbols of solidity, morphed into a creature of flight, shattering my sense of the ordinary. Overwhelmed, I sought refuge in my father’s protective embrace, where the comforting warmth of his presence contrasted sharply with the cold shock of the magical encounter. This fleeting moment imprinted a vivid memory of wonder and fear intertwined.
