STATEMENT

“One can fall so low as to mistake the ascent for yet another descent.”

With “Labyrinth”, I construct a visual allegory of existential change — a work that rejects the linear narrative of improvement or “healing,” instead giving form to a fragmented, uncertain path made of detours, pauses, and returns that never quite lead back to the starting point — nor to any recognizable destination.

The stairs that populate the scene are not just spatial elements, but mental architectures — interior movements that tell the story of an identity in constant transformation. Ascending or descending is no longer relevant:

Meaning dissolves in transitions, in steps, in interrupted directions.

The work becomes a mirror of an experience that is common yet rarely represented: change as effort, as disorientation, as a profound form of honesty toward oneself.

In “Labyrinth”, orientation is not a conquest, but an experience matured precisely through loss. It is an invitation to inhabit complexity and to accept that true transformation often has no direction or end — but takes place in the simple act of seeking.
