Story & Message:

People have always expressed their opinion on certain matters. Sometimes these matters might be other people. The human brain is a complicated mechanism, but one of the things we know about it is that it can be easily influenced by outer sources. Sources like words or actions of others for instance. Blue is sometimes viewed as the color of wisdom. The artwork invites you to make a wise decision to stop caring about what the others say or do and to cut the made-up character they gave you, letting your true self show up and live.

From my project “Paper Cuts”

Every story is made up. All the stories that we hear about the world, the way things work in it and what our place in it is have been made up for us by our parents, school, society. However, when we realize that everything has been made up, now it’s our turn to tell ourselves a new story. And this story can be anything we ever wanted it to be. It won’t be easy. But it’s possible to forget all the stories that were bringing us down, and create our own, the one that will empower us - from scratch. But to do that, we need to cut the old stories first.
