Acrylic on real paper map

120 cm x 100 cm

The basis of my project constitutes of maps of different cities and countries of Europe. Since I like travelling, the map displayed in my project have been brought by me from various trips, during which they have served me good stead. Therefore, these maps bear the imprint of my journeys and impressions.
On top of the map tiles are imposed images of men and women in various poses. Avenues, streets and lanes like veins are breaking through their body. The poses of my characters may be perceived by the audience variously: as openness and as a sort of road sign... And maybe they are flying?
So, I am representing an image of the person of the new millennium – dreaming, searching, thinking and recognizing this complicated world.
