Alpha Series: An Exploration of Individuation
The Alpha series is a sculptural exploration of Carl Jung’s concept of individuation—the journey toward self-realization and psychological wholeness. Each piece in this series symbolizes a fragment of the individuation process, representing a unique aspect of integrating unconscious, often hidden parts of the psyche into conscious awareness. Jung described this as essential for personal growth, a way to become the "true self" rather than a fragmented version shaped solely by societal expectations, inherited roles, or unprocessed conflicts. Collectively, the pieces form a holistic narrative, with each sculpture embodying an individual step in the pursuit of inner unity and self-acceptance.
The physical form of each sculpture is the main part of the experience but light and shadow play a secondary role in secondary piece to life. When light reflects at certain angles, these sculptures cast intricate shadows on surrounding walls, creating new forms—a hidden aspect that emerges in the presence of light, much like the unconscious revealing itself through conscious exploration. These shadow sculptures offer a surprising dimension to the owner, reflecting the unexpected, complex layers of the self that emerge throughout the journey of individuation.
