2025 Inside Me It’s Dormant. Alya Segova

I refer to the archetypical image of a sleeping giant as a metaphor for the hidden creative power, which is dormant inside before certain circumstances provoke its awakening.

Individual physicality becomes the landscape for the unfolding of an archetypical plot. The work is based on my own cardiogram taken by an ambulance doctor before the intensive care unit. The incessant rhythm and pulsation continue even in the moment of obvious physical weakness.

An enchanted magical dream may seem like passivity to an outside observer, meanwhile it becomes a kind of cover for an inner process, boiling of latent energy and the gradual accumulation of creative force.
