Freefall – means that I am falling, and I admit that, I embrace it. Yes, I don’t know what I’m doing. And nobody does. Nobody has “adult”, objective knowledge; everyone lives according to learned behavior patterns, to the need to make money, to the social expectations. Almost all of our control is an illusion.

Freefall – is not giving this fact negative or positive meaning, but merely an acceptance and acknowledgement. We control nothing. And at the same time, we are in control of our actions every second. Every second we have the choice of submitting to circumstances or going against them.

The project illustrates this meditative sense of “going with the flow” –  surrendering to the moment without completely relinquishing responsibility and control.

A series contains square canvases, on which I paint in as many different environments as possible, capturing the environment and how it affects my condition. I consciously choose the location, materials and color palette. Then, I let the external circumstances influence me. I relinquish control over everything else and do not try to paint intentionally. This way, I control and let go of control over different aspects of the work. I don’t know what the end result will be, I let my intuition lead me instead.
