The photographs of the installations (that were created on the Balkan Mountains) were etched with a laser on a different size and thickness plexiglass sheets. A found wood was used for the background. The wood was burnt in a controlled manner to create the best possible effect for the etchings to be visible and still the artwork would remain visually natural and proportionately organic.
The making of physical representations was a process of reflection. The whole project was about my placement between two different worlds, realms of opposites that often are at war with each other. Natural and urban, organic and synthetic. For these physical representations, I chose to work with natural material that is wood and synthetic – plexiglass. Both materials were modified with an element of fire. For the wood, he chose to work with a real open flame and high heat but the plexiglass was etched with a newest technology laser engraver. Two completely different methods, materials and approaches were put together to create physical representations of the Project [a]way. The objects are a metaphor for duality and opposites also the installations shown in these objects hold the same meaning.
In the gallery space, the artworks were hanged on the walls and the whole floor was covered with fallen leaves. The leaves changed the entire environment not only visually but also with the sound and the smell too that helped a viewer to engage with the artworks even more and created a link to the natural environment.
The artworks were exhibited at Muse Gallery London, Old Truman’s Brewery London and Middlesex University London, 2017.
