This is a long-term project based on the idea that everyone carries their own world within them. By using mannequin bodies as a canvas, I create inner landscape environments in the human form that represent different emotions, states of mind, or ways of experiencing life.

​

While only one piece currently exists, the project is intended to grow into a series of works, each exploring a different inner landscape. The project develops slowly and without a fixed plan. A new piece only begins when I happen to come across a mannequin body. I do not actively search for them or purchase them specifically for this project. Instead, I prefer the starting point to arrive unexpectedly, allowing chance to determine when a new work can emerge.
The same applies to the creative process itself. A piece rarely starts with a clear concept. Usually I begin by experimenting, adding elements, and seeing where they lead. Over time a theme starts to reveal itself, shaping the direction of the work.
The first piece is filled with clouds and illuminated from within by a warm salt lamp. Looking at it now, it reminds me of feelings of love, warmth, and completeness. The clouds soften the empty space inside the body and make it feel almost weightless, while the orange glow spreads through it like a quiet fire. Together they create a sense of comfort and calm, as if the figure is carrying something gentle and alive within itself.
I am interested in the idea that people carry entire worlds inside them. Not worlds made of flesh and bone, but of emotions, memories, desires, fears, and experiences. Each sculpture is an attempt to give one of those worlds a physical form.​​​
