It had been a long time since the woman had lost her heart, her own essence. It had taken the form of a pear, and she had spent years trying to find it. She didn’t know it was possible to live without it, heartless, but it was, however, it was an empty life, always missing something.
The woman heard that it’s necessary to find a quiet place within her own being, to find answers. It is said that when the view is clear, it is easier to see what is missing.
She tried to find a place in nature that might represent what she felt inside.
Her eyes closed. She tried to climb a mountain, where the view was clearer, and her heart may be visible.
Instead, what she found was a jungle...//
I. The Jungle Within //
This artwork is specifically created for the genesis series “In the shadows”, and is based on "Tale of the Blue Pear", a multi-awarded series about a woman who has lost her heart, and enters a parallel universe, hoping to find it again. There she finds talking animals, strange characters, giant beings, superpowers, as well as her own alter egos.
With subtle elements of allegory and irony, this visual story raises questions about our own lives and the never-ending quest for inner peace and happiness.
