Mingled with Voids is an erratic and instinctive exploration of mystery, randomness, and existence, inspired by the primal gestures of ancient cave artists. Drawing on David Lewis-Williams's book The Mind in the Cave, the series reflects on the formidable journeys that early humans undertook into the depths of the earth and confronts the emergence of consciousness and the mysteries of life. Armed only with trembling torches, our ancestors spent days in near darkness, entering trance-like states to depict enigmatic images on cave walls.
Echoing these ancient rituals, 'Mingled with Voids' emerges from the darkness as a collection of mysterious and hypnotic visuals. The images — trembling reflections generated using only a simple torch and mirror — are created through photo shoots that resemble performative acts due to their extended duration and the fleeting nature of the reflections. As the process unfolds, consciousness blurs and the senses are overwhelmed, offering a glimpse into a realm beyond everyday perception — an arcane dimension released from the structured confines of rationality.
