The Trickster:

Who Are You?

The image of the Trickster is one of the oldest and most universal archetypes, found across cultures and throughout the ages. He appears in countless forms, through people, events, and phenomena, as a metaphorical embodiment of deep meanings and the hidden mechanics of life.

The Trickster disrupts the familiar flow of things, confronting us with the unexpected, often with painful experiences. But this is precisely his role. He points to the blind spots in our perception, provokes inner shifts, and reveals truths we might never have reached on our own.

His messages are multilayered, and

our ability to receive them depends entirely on how willing we are to hear and decode what he brings.This series of works is a dialogue with the Trickster as a guide. Through visual language, I explore howthis archetype manifests in the modern human, how it leads us, often against our expectations, toward understanding, acceptance, and ultimately, inner transformation.
