_in the shade of the ceiling

05/2024, Charta Gallery, Sofia, Bulgaria

_in the shade of the ceiling explored the hidden sides of our personality — the 'Shadow' described by Carl Gustav Jung. While we presente a polished image to the world, shaped by social expectations and our ideal self, beneath this persona lie unconscious traits, desires, and behaviors we often deny or hide. The exhibition investigated how we project these shadow aspects onto others as a defense mechanism, accusing the 'Other' of what we refuse to face within ourselves. It invited an encounter with the inner contradictions of being, opening a space to perceive the continual interplay between self and the 'Other' as an inherent condition of existence.
