"Part of the Alpha series, inspired by Carl Jung’s concept of individuation, where each sculpture reflects a unique stage in the journey toward self-realization and integration."
Alpha Vulva explores the individuation process through the metaphor of shelter and the wave like frequency of the alpha state. The work brings organic forms into contact with a protective structure, creating a space where inner flow and containment coexist within the same rhythm. This meeting point offers a safe internal field in which unconscious material can rise to awareness. The balance between fragility and strength reveals shelter not only as a physical need but as an inner place where one gathers the self and moves toward integration. Alpha Vulva embodies a threshold in which protection, openness, and renewal converge within a shared frequency of transformation.
Within the wider individuation process, shelter becomes both a practical need and a symbolic space in which the self can gather, reflect, and integrate its many layers. Alpha Vulva considers this dual function, showing how protection and openness can be present at the same time during psychological growth. The work invites viewers to consider how forms of shelter, both internal and external, shape our experience of belonging, continuity, and wholeness.
