Avgang 2023: Home grown allure

Dream of my grandma: she is chased by a giant bull, runs into a deep forest, the animal keeps following her and coming closer and closer with each second. She doesn’t know how to escape anymore, is out of breath and scared. She hugs a birch tree that is on her way. The tree lets her in, and she becomes a birch, set free from the human body forever. Her bones and muscles slowly turn into wood.

A strange attraction to skin-coloured rooms, where, in my dream I move between the layers, through the rough surface of the bones and flow with the rivers of pumping blood, landing smoothly on the carpet made from patches of sensations, memories, stories, distractions and words.

Journal from a long travel, that I found in the drawer full of pieces of lace – delicate cloth with a myriad of holes made by twisting together very fine threads of images.
