the starting point of the project is a particular state of inspiration. it comes as a thickening of reality: night, wide landscapes, the dense noise of wind in the ears, black soil, cold water. in these moments there is a sense of touching something eternal and unknowable. space and sound condense, the gaze captures everything around, time stops flowing and turns into the experience of eternity. there is little lightness in this - it feels more like a dense contact with an inner substance of chaos.

in “condensation” i record these states and their entry points. i translate them into words, graphic works and spatial forms. over time this gaze turned inward, and at the center of the project a metaphor appeared: a black, oil-like substance, an inner core of chaos that i keep circling around and trying to document across different media. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, and this instability also becomes part of the project’s structure.

the project remains in progress and has no fixed endpoint. it shapes the way i have been experiencing both creativity and life in recent years: as a collision with an inner substance of chaos, far from safe and controllable ideas of inspiration.
the text “touch of chaos”, the project “blackness” and the series of archetypal drawings belong to the same period and are treated as related branches of a single process of condensation.
