This series is inspired by dahi ritual paper figures and Paleolithic Venuses. The starting point is a minimalist silhouette born from a sheet of paper folded in half.In this project, I continue to explore what happens when the need to calculate every single step in drawing fades away. My goal is to leave a margin for chance and to loosen control while creating a new image.Here, that margin opens up right at the very beginning — during the creation of the mirrored paper form. My intervention is minimal: the final unfolding always comes as a surprise. It feels like that childhood memory of cutting patterns into a folded napkin, never knowing what the snowflake will actually look like until you open it up. All that is left for me to do is to decoratively fill the shape that emerged.I wanted to move away from habitual illustrativeness and over-conceptualization toward a more direct, naive visual language and seriality.Whatever I do — especially when working intuitively, «thoughtlessly» — female forms inevitably manifest on the paper. These are shapes I have known and felt drawn to since childhood, carrying an innate harmony and the sense of the «beginning of all things.»
