Mapping the Unseen
For omentejovem, Mapping the Unseen emerged through a process just as elusive as the title suggests. While the result may appear enigmatic, its creation was guided by instinct rather than calculation. At a certain point, the work – and the Stories on Circles collection as a whole – came to a standstill just before it was final for the artist. Too much emphasis had drifted toward conscious control, wanting to achieve a certain level, and something vital then fell out of reach. Only by letting go, by stepping back into moments of unstructured observation and quiet reflection, did the process regain momentum. This piece holds that shift: a subtle record of release and reconnection with the subconscious currents that shape the work beneath the surface.
Stories on Circles is a reflection on how limitations can become a source of liberation. It is the first-ever collection presented under SILK, born from the belief that structure can spark something deeply personal.
Circles have defined boundaries but invite infinite interpretations. In contemporary practice, artists frequently choose circular frameworks to test limits, probing how constraints can inspire innovation. Think of Leonardo da Vinci's 'Vitruvian Man' or Hilma af Klints spiritual abstractions. Omentejovem's collection embraces this paradox, emphasizing creativity sparked by constraint rather than hindered by it.
Each piece of omentejovem’s Stories on Circles collection unfolds within the strict boundary of a circle, yet each tells a different narrative, transcending the fine-line borders through an emotional depth.
