The cycle Blast from the Past reflects on the genesis of Slovak folk ornamentation and explores the possibilities of applying its visual language within contemporary visual culture. Folk ornament, as a significant impulse in my creative practice, offers a wealth of inspiring points of departure thanks to its multilayered meanings. For instance, embroidery on traditional garments, beyond its aesthetic function, also communicated social status, origin, and family background. In the case of ritual objects, folk ornamentation likewise carried a magical function. Equally inspiring is the natural, spontaneous aesthetic of folk artistic expression itself, which continues to fascinate me.
