"A cinder is what burns in language in lieu of the gift
or the promise of the secret of that “first” burning, which may itself be a
repetition. Something persists, something keeps ringing and burning between
these repetitions; it is this something that gives the strange gift of a
cinder."
Jacques Derrida – Cinders
Pyrography is my form of lonely contemplation and alchemical
work. I am convinced that the fire - more emotionally than other tools - like a
seismograph or a polygraph - provides and renders (to) emotional states of
fragile human being. In this way, the topographic maps of my internal states are
drawn, the type of “erased” (self-burnt) diary is shaped with the order of
signs (and significance) which have turned ashen. What I am trying to turn into
life and establish is a kind of “sensitive reader and a record of reality”
which, combined with the described process of burning, decomposing, fades and
disappears. It is a kind of constant analysis of (my) belonging to the world -
and an equally important constant search for reference points to which I am
embedded, as well as the answer to the question: "where do I come from,
where am I going to?". The area of my interests revolves around the main
threads: fire and ash (as characters, as words) and constant looking for the
understanding, belonging. I appreciate the importance of the relationship
between fire and ash and their instant connection with fleeting nature. Also
their strong relationship with people, their culture as searching for signs
of/from the past. The function and symbolism associated with them, for further
observation of reality, which is traced and researched using the pyrography
(theory of the sensitive reader of reality), and in combination with
interpersonal relationships gives a kind of personal maps of existence that
could be also examined in the name of neuroscience.
I slowly develop topographic maps of my internal states and
look for the space of coexistence in the name of fire.
