ITER AFFECTUM
The project responds to the increasing pace and sensory overload of contemporary life, which often leads to emotional disconnection and reduced self-awareness. While human emotional experience is complex and evolving, it is frequently simplified or suppressed. Iter Affectum addresses this condition by creating a contemplative space that encourages viewers to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with their inner emotional landscape.
At the core of the installation is the tension between stillness and transformation. Oil painting, historically associated with permanence and fixed interpretation, becomes a living surface that changes over time. Through carefully synchronised visual and sonic elements, the work reflects the fluid and non-linear nature of emotion.
The installation guides the viewer through a structured emotional arc-ranging from intensity and fragmentation to calm, recovery, and acceptance-offering a cathartic yet accessible experience. Rather than positioning the audience as passive observers, Iter Affectum invites active emotional engagement and introspection
