The Sculptural Archive
DASHKA explores the intersection of material tactility and formal symbolism.
Inner stories take shape through associative symbols, this is where my inspiration begins.
Nothing is pre-studied, nor is there an aim to achieve a phenomenally realistic view. Instead, forms given through associative gestures breathe life into my work.
Inspiration might start from a phrase, a philosophical wonder, or an inner conclusion of a hidden truth. From there, instinct moves me abstractly toward a multi-symbolic language with countless readings available in my sculptures.
Faces and beings in non-realistic poses are my primary focuses in this artistic search. I aim to transport human inner struggles into the realm of cosmic capitalism—living forced by gravity with a burdened spiritual approach.
None of these materials are ever approached as vehicles for imitation or realistic representation. Instead, each medium becomes a responsive membrane for simultaneous, overlapping layers of meaning.
A single work is never confined to a singular narrative or a solitary state of being,rather, it harbors multiple internal contradictions, fragments, and emotional fluctuations intertwined within its form.
