Title: Wielki błękit (The Big Blue)

Date: 2024

Description: In the center of the composition are the words “kocham Cię” (I love you). Since I connected with my mother, and through her even more strongly with the heroines and heroes of my Ph.D. thesis, I increasingly felt loved. Many times, in various situations, I heard “I love you” in my head. Maybe my mother “said” it, or maybe the goddess? I consider these words a magic spell. Anyone who reads them connects with the memory of space, the invisible void that “sees” everything and everyone. Pale golden spots around the letters and blue, wavy lines create a vortex. It leads to a dark blue depth in the center, a symbol of the goddess’s wisdom and the feminine aspect. It contains everything that is unconscious, unaccepted, painful, and related to death. The dot above the “i” represents the potential for regeneration, transformation, renewal. It leads out of the abyss of timelessness to the here and now. It is a source of grounding, centeredness, and trust.
