Vine Fruition
2023,
graphics, triptych
In the storyline of the triptych, one can trace a biblical motif that outlines the paradigm of the fall of a man. This fall occurs as if between the Garden of Eden and the fall into the void. Paradoxically, this fall is a method of preventing moral pain that forces us to find new landmarks. The vine branch is an expressive image of rebuilding. It chooses the right places and ends up in them. Everyone has particular imprints on their bodies: they may be aggressive or hopeful; they may contain earth or guilt. Because we are told that hope is available when you are vulnerable.
