SPIRIT AND MATTER
project by Simona Kyosovska
Sometimes our flowing inner forces need to be tamed. Private battles might be seen through our veins but the shaping cage we put ourselves into is the self we present to others. It is the balanced and synchronized version of us that we consider to be more deserving of being seen. However, a little disorder underneath is inevitable. And it’s beautiful.

INSPIRATION PHOTOS FOR "SPIRIT AND MATTER"
1. Hussein Chalayan's project "INERTIA" S/S 2009
Speed is a main concept he explores. "The speed in which our live is evolving, from the speed of the body, to the speed of consumption, to the economy." (H.C.)
INERTIA is a representation of the crystallized moment of a crash, as a result of speed. He realises the concept of the project under three forms - in a gallery as art exhibition, in a fashion show, and as everyday, wearable sneakers.

Is speed a win or a loss of time? Focusing on going faster we overlook a lot of opportunities. Rushing into things may be saving us time, but isn't time supposed to be lived fully instead of us "saving" it for.. well.. they say "another time" ? (pun intended) Time cannot be saved as money. You can't put it in a jar and use it later for a rainy day. We have time while it is happening. Time is now. Live it fully.
Time is a sensible issue for a soul like mine and it is probably the biggest wire enwrapping my spirit. A part of the cage I put myself consciously into.
2. Vertical Horizon by Romain Jacquet Lagrèze
Skyscrapers are the material form of human strive for improvement. At first sight, they are consisted of little boxes where one-way thoughts are kept. But reflections show pieces of endless skies. And if you actually look up, you find unlimited possibilities - the floating spirit.
3. The golden eagle
Society calls for self-restraint which results in emotional burdens ripping the spirit. If we get a good grip on our animal instincts and impulses, we will achieve our true self. Self-determination is the key to frankness. Confinement is a dangerous journey towards impossible perfection.
