Anima Mundi invites viewers into a shifting landscape where houses, roots, branches, colors and textures converge to form a layered meditation on sense of place and memory. Vibrant purples, electric pinks, and deep blues pulse across the surfaces, creating an almost holographic shimmer that changes with light and movement.

The houses, outlined in radiant linear detail, float within swirling environments that resist stability. Antlers on the roofs of the three-dimensional structures indicate a kind of raw animalian masculinity. Windows, doors and pitched roofs evoke familiarity yet their settings dissolve into abstraction, reminding us that home is both a place and a state of mind.

On the suspended screen in the center, the laughing or screaming feminine face encounters another being. They emerge from the energetic textural background adding a ghostly human presence. It seems as though memory itself inhabits these walls.

Dimensional roots, branches, cords, and netting extend the work beyond the flat picture plane, casting real shadows that blur the line between painting and sculpture. These elements suggest entanglement and connection, as if unseen forces tether or suspend the imagery in midair. The mesh ney or web, stretched below, reads as a fragile boundary or repository; restrictive and protective yet permeable, a metaphor for the spaces we construct to hold our lives. Two holes rent in the fabric suggest something may have escaped

By combining vibrant painterly surfaces with sculptural interventions, the work becomes a stage where stability and instability coexist. The houses both anchor and drift, the net both protects and exposes, the figure, wether it is laughing or screaming, both appears and vanishes. This interplay embodies the tension between permanence and impermanence, containment and freedom, the known and the unknown.

The piece encourages viewers to linger, to let their eyes trace the glowing lines and shifting textures, and to feel how memory, imagination, and material presence intertwine.
