Why do millions of women all over the world still lack the right to abortion? Except for pleasant moments of motherhood, there is another side of a coin, one that places the burden solely on the woman to handle on her own. Reasons for pregnancy differ and are not always desired.
​
Over a century has passed since suffragists fought for voting rights and against discrimination, yet in many countries, women still lack autonomy to decide whether to be or not to become mothers.
​
As a woman, I want to have my right to make my own decisions that influence my life and to take responsibility for those choices.

What will others think?
Be humble, don’t attract attention.
Why can’t you be like others?
Some people don’t even have what you have, why do you need more than that?
Why do you need to do it your way?​
These are the phrases that people of my age have often heard since childhood. There was a time when the less noticeable you were, the more likely your family and you were to survive. Those times are gone, but such a survival strategy has penetrated our DNA and influenced the next generations. Some people keep living according to these habits, while others do their best to break them by choosing a healthier life.
​​
The second way is harder, as it makes you face the judgment of the closest people to you. You may automatically be labeled mean, selfish, evil, and whatever else. Even when you know that taking care of yourself doesn’t make you a bad person, it still affects you. That is why this series is dedicated to those who are going this way, learning to be true to themselves and to listen to their own inner voice.

A schizoid world is unlimited yet complicated to comprehend, as it’s mostly hidden from others because it feels safer this way. Many artistic people spend more time deep inside themselves, where they find their own source of inspiration.
I remember always feeling more comfortable with myself than with other people. That was why I was considered detached, inattentive, and weird. “Not like others” was always a label that suggested something was wrong with me, but I didn’t feel that way. So, it led to a misunderstanding with myself.
Self-discovery allowed me to overcome that inner confusion and focus on exploring hidden worlds within the depth of my personality. It aimed to translate these discoveries into art that must become a pillar for those still wandering in the darkness with the hope of discovering their own inner light.
GAMES OF SUBCONSCIOUS
Life is like a kaleidoscope from childhood, full of colorful details that constantly change their patterns and never repeat. Similarly, my memories, thoughts, and feelings continuously create or recreate me from different angles, pushing me toward self-discovery.​
When I was a child, it seemed that I was my future profession; as I grew older, I saw myself through different social roles: daughter, friend, student, and so on. At some point, I believed my thoughts defined me. Then I started searching for a calling, convinced that it would provide the answers I sought. I’m still trying to understand who I am.
​​
My state right now is an inner untamed chaos that has a lot of order in reality, though I haven’t realized it yet. Therefore, my work represents a series of memories, fears, hopes, feelings, decisions, and experiences. That’s not all of me, but it is a sincere and meaningful part.
