Original artwork description:

The work "Phenomenology of Perception" by Maurice Merleau-Ponty has inspired me, especially his idea that "the horizon is not a limitation, but a possibility." The horizon, as a boundary, constantly changes depending on our experiences.

The horizon is not a static line. It changes with us, revealing new perspectives and opportunities for exploration. Each change in our position or context expands our horizon and unveils new aspects of the world.

Merleau-Ponty's phrase "The body is the general form of all our experiences" led me to explore early worldviews, particularly the female figurines of the Trypillia culture. This ancient image, in my opinion, reflects the idea that our body is the instrument through which we perceive the world.

In my work, I sought to depict how the horizon and corporeality intertwine
