Description
MIMICRY
This project emerged from a prolonged state of losing a stable sense of identity in emigration. Not as a social narrative or a story of relocation, but as an internal condition — a life between contexts, where familiar points of reference cease to function while new ones have not yet been formed.
In this intermediate state, the body becomes the primary carrier of experience. It loses fixed roles and habitual forms of self-definition and begins to renegotiate its relationship with space, distance, and control. Identity does not disappear here; it becomes fluid, unstable, and no longer tied to a fixed form.
In these works, the body enters a process of mimicry with natural environments and animals — not as an act of fusion or a rejection of cultural identity, but as a way of moving beyond a specific contextual framework. This mimicry does not operate through symbols of belonging, but through more universal structures: rhythm, movement, scale, and the shared presence of living forms.
The project is not about the loss of identity, but about the search for a common ground that allows existence in the world. A level at which differences are not erased, but cease to function as barriers. It is within this expanded field that the possibility of a new stability begins to emerge.
