ARTIST NOTE

The work revisits a fragment of childhood spent searching through bushes for grasshoppers. What began as a simple game of finding and collecting gradually became an encounter with a hidden world of colour, movement, and unexpected variety. The memory is less about the grasshopper itself than the state of heightened attention the moment when the surrounding world recedes and something almost imperceptible slowly emerges from the foliage. The work reflects on how such fleeting encounters become deeply embedded in memory.
