Crowds
The painting “Crowds” attempts
to capture the unity and diversity
of human experience, perception
within the framework of collective consciousness.
Each of these small geometric objects represents eyes. Pairs of eyes looking
at the viewer from various directions. Individuals in the crowd, with unique experiences and perspectives. Looking and seeing differently, but together forming a collective unity.
It's an attempt to depict the human capacity for coexistence despite individual differences. It tells a story about the fading boundaries between the individual and society, between individuality and collective consciousness.
The author encourages reflection
on how individuals contribute
to the greater whole and how they influence our perception of the world
as a collective unity. It prompts
the viewer to consider their own place
in the world and their relationships
with others.
The composition is intense
and full – the figures occupy almost
the entire available space, reflecting
the nature of a crowd, where individuals are close to each other and often merge into one mass. “Crowds” also encourage reflection on our place in society, our individuality in the context of the group, and the boundaries between personal and public, between loneliness and being in a community.
