onomatopoeia

“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will. “

George Bernard Shaw

Onomatopoeia evokes the sound of nature and all the living creatures. Each piece of artwork is a reflection – reflection of murmur, of wind and echoes, forest’s roar, algae dancing in the water depths, reflection of fluttering flowers in the wild fields. Vividness of colours and shapes lighten up the importance of imagination, with the purpose to stimulate and encourage the viewer to try to hear and internalize the desired sound from nature only by looking at the artworks. By imagining the sound only from the seen, one can bring the story to life. Every fragment of these new imaginary plants contains in itself the time and space from which they originate. If we could imagine that plants can remember, these new floral structures could be seen as murmurations of memories - memories of places, of time, of earth structures, level of wildness, or the lost travelers' whispered stories on the pass by to the shore. Artist intervention in grafting new structures out of different herbs revels the desire to trigger in people hidden and forgotten memories and then graft in our mind new kind of imaginary constructions, which will remind us of the everlasting importance of human relationship with the nature. At the same time, here nature yells throughout these imposed joints, reminding us of the urge of self-connection, self-discover, but more importantly of relationships renewal and closeness to the others.
