“Don’t Talk - I Don’t See You” [Digital Collage, 2017]

[vesperalia]

The Ancestral Bride is. It breathes, It sees, It knows. It has no beginning and no end. Its long hair were swaying when matter was forming, Its fleshless fingers were swimming over newborn galaxies, in Its fathomless womb echoed the first word that was uttered. In the trees, in the soil, in the air. It reverberates, It permeates, It allures. Its nature eludes us. Its omnipresence shapes our perception.

The Ancestral Bride is an archetype as old as Time itself, extremely powerful, deep-rooted and uncanny in its undetectable, yet ever-present influence on human behavior and psyche.

“The Retina of The Mind’s Eye” [Digital Collage; 2022]

— {Prints Available}

Inspired by, and a tribute to, David Cronenberg’s “Videodrome” and Marshall McLuhan’s “The Medium Is The Massage”. “The television screen is the retina of the mind’s eye. Therefore the television screen is part of the physical structure of the brain. Therefore whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. Therefore television is reality, and reality is less than television.” - Prof. Brian O'Blivion, (“Videodrome”) “All media are extensions of some human faculty –psychic or physical.The wheel is an extension of the foot, the book is an extension of the eye,clothing is an extension of the skin, electric circuitry an extension of the central nervous system.“ - Marshall McLuhan, "The Medium Is The Massage”
