This series was created during a time when my body functioned as a closed circuit. It worked faster than consciousness itself. Thought had temperature, and the drawings appeared before meaning could form. I never called this inspiration. It felt closer to internal pressure - something that demanded release.
Red existed before it became a color. It was present in fluids, tensions, and daily rhythms. In things that remain unspoken, either because they are too intimate or too uncomfortable. Femininity ceased to be an identity and became a process - unstable, ambiguous, at times unfamiliar.
In these works, the female body is not a figure. It is a territory. Subject to intervention, projection, and expectation. It is observed, touched, corrected. Sexuality does not function here as an invitation, but as a disturbance - an element that destabilizes the drawing itself. Fetish emerges incidentally, like a trace whose origin cannot always be identified. I am less interested in where it comes from than in what it does to the act of looking.
Medicine appears in the background - cold, geometric, ostensibly precise. Its language diverges from lived experience. Where it was meant to order, it leaves omissions. Where it promised control, error appears. That error becomes a point of departure - not as drama, but as fact.
“Red Gallery” was never planned. It expanded on its own, as if beyond my control. The drawings were made quickly, but they are not light. Each one captures a moment that cannot be repeated - a suspended state between intuition and knowledge, between form and its disintegration.
Only selected works from this series are presented on the website. The rest remain in shadow, where meaning continues to shift and the drawings have not yet closed themselves into fixed interpretations. This is not an archive. It is a trace of intensity that, for a time, became the only possible language.
Several drawings began during pregnancy and found their completion years later. Distance did not soften them - it reconfigured their meaning.
