Harmony of Chaos
The painting “Harmony of Chaos” prompts reflection on the role
and essence of boundaries in our lives and the world. It depicts a series
of vertical lines intersecting, overlapping, with clearly defined contours separate from the background. The outlines
of simplified shapes create
an impression of both separation
and connection. Lines in different colors surrounding distinct shapes may symbolize diversity – the diversity
of situations, emotions, communities…
The dynamics and flow of shapes
in the painting remind us of the continuous variability of boundaries. From the apparent chaos of these shapes emerges a kind of order.
The arrangements, sets, and mutual interactions speak to the complexity
of human relationships and geopolitical divisions, as well as to the personal experience of crossing boundaries
and discovering new spaces.
Interpreting this painting in the context
of responses to war and chaos,
it can be seen as a metaphor for seeking balance between peace and conflict,
and the constant attempt to understand and redefine boundaries. It is an attempt to find some kind of order in this chaos. Each line and color can be perceived
as a separate narrative. Together, they create a coherent, albeit complicated, story about the human condition.
