The work DRACO introduces a psychological dimension, exploring how our perception reacts to overwhelming, attention-seeking light sources, a form of overstimulation familiar in both physical and digital realms.
The resulting motif, with its green-violet tones and sharply pointed forms, evokes a predator or dragon, reminiscent of Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. In Jungian psychology, the dragon symbolises the shadow archetype, our repressed and unconscious aspects. Confronting and integrating this shadow, much like a mythic hero’s journey, represents the challenge necessary for personal growth.
