Take the flight // Taking flight   

We know change from folklore and fairy tales, often as a symbol for internal change or mental state. Sometimes we get stuck in a state of dullness and don't find a way out. 

In this work I make attempts to force a mode shift, self-directed transformation The work is set up as a guide where steps are taken towards transformationBy the fact of getting out of one state to another.

We are familiar with metamorphosis from stories and fairytales, often used as a metaphor for the state of mind or a change within a person. Sometimes we get stuck in a melancholic state we can't see to get out of.  

This work is an attitude to force metamorphosis, a deliberate shift from one state to another. It takes the form of a guide or a blueprint, with each step revealing part of the transformation process.
