About the Item
Reflection on the inner barriers that shape human psyche, imposed stereotypes, and the process of recognizing one's own boundaries. At its core lies Jungian individuation—the integration of the unconscious into the conscious self.
The fish archetype here symbolizes the depths of the unconscious, intuition, and the continuous search for identity. In cultural and mythological narratives, the fish is often associated with transitions between worlds, transformation, and the discovery of subconscious truths. In this context, the image serves as a metaphor for the struggle between inner impulses and external expectations, between the desire for authenticity and the fear of change.
This work speaks to moments of crisis and realization—when one confronts their "inner demons," analyzes deep-seated beliefs, and decides who they truly are. The strong dynamics of form and contrast of colors create tension, emphasizing the inevitability of change and the necessity of self-acceptance.
"Searching for Oneself..." is a visualization of the complex journey of self-discovery, where the line between reality and the unconscious is thin, and truth is revealed only to those willing to see it.
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.
