The collection explores the inner self as a centrepiece of our consciousness, body, and mind. The soul, our true self or the Aatma is depicted as a golden flower that shows how fragile, delicate and precious our soul is. Every flower is different and unique as we all are.
As this is my genesis on SuperRare I wanted to special. For the past year I’ve been silently experimenting with 3D and animation and I know it was time to make something bigger using those new mediums. Also I wanted to to have a deeper meaning, to be not immediately recognisable and to take time to form and unveil.
After some experimentation with different angles, camera rotation and materials, I ended up with an animation that at first looks like an abstract but after a couple of seconds you suddenly recognise. I loved the idea that you don't immediately grasp what you see and decide convey that to the whole collection.
I wanted the artworks to have a centre where other elements form around. The initial concept was a ball of light or energy but later that changed to a flower which represents the fragility of the human soul. The name of the collection forms around this concept.
The gold, glass and white materials were something that wasn’t intentional but I ended up with after some lots of experimenting. I knew I wanted the whole work to feel light and positive instead of dark and negative. In the end I love how the end result creates the feeling of something special and valuable, just like a jewellery.
