About the Item
This work explores the theme of inner struggle and the traps created by the human psyche. Through the lens of Jungian shadow archetype, the artist delves into the deeper layers of the subconscious, where fears, beliefs, and limitations shape the personality.
The fish, as a symbol, takes on a multilayered meaning. In both mythological and psychoanalytic contexts, it can embody hidden wisdom and subconscious knowledge, as well as self-destructive impulses that remain beyond the control of consciousness. It is simultaneously a symbol of freedom and entrapment, of rebirth and self-consumption, of instinct and unconscious fear.
The Human Ego examines the moment of self-awareness – that critical state in which the individual confronts their true self. This encounter can become a key to inner growth or yet another trap if one fails to recognize personal boundaries and accept internal contradictions. The work poses a question to the viewer: is the ego a saving core or merely an obstacle on the path to authenticity?
In her artistic practice, Iryna Burda explores the subtle and often invisible mechanisms that govern the human inner world. Through symbolic imagery, subconscious metaphors, and a deeply emotional visual language, she delves into themes of personal boundaries, fears, stereotypes, and transformation. The fish, as a central symbol in her works, becomes both a guide and a trap — a representation of intuition and unconscious impulses. Its layered presence on the canvas highlights the complexity of self-encounter, where every moment of introspection may lead to growth or pose a challenge. Iryna invites the viewer not only to observe, but to engage — to feel, recognize, and live through the experience. Her art is a journey into the depths of the psyche, where chaos transforms into harmony, and every crisis opens the door to a new dimension of the self. Iryna Burda is an artist and mother of two sons. Her projects explore the influence of subconscious beliefs on identity. Her work is a visual exploration of self-acceptance, inner conflict, and personal transformation.
