In search of solitude, Anzelika Lepika who is a multidisciplinary artist challenges to achieve a personal goal to create a place that allows for the mind to relax from the stimuli of the modern world. In this space, the absence of the noise of the world allows the mind to engage with its innermost thoughts and subconscious mind with the help of stillness. Many people do not usually take the time to understand or listen to the subconscious mind, so she created a space which acts as the ‘in-between’ cocoon of worlds.

With the use of natural and recycled materials, Lepika’s aim is to inspire the audience to disconnect their bodies from their mind and allow the soul to heal itself in the silence of their own thoughts.

Many people spend a lot of time thinking and underestimate the power of their subconscious mind, unaware of the effects it has on their consciousness. The colourful and delicate felt growing on the cocoon is sewn together by hand and knits the multitude of emotions that many experience each day and struggle to understand them. Solidarity intertwines the organic nature of the mind and body and builds your secure self, helping to unravel your past, present, and future. The release of intense emotions combined with calm surroundings will elevate the chances of resolving the unknown.

With many uncertainties in life, the key to understanding the thoughts and emotions we carry within ourselves is to balance them in everyday life and allow yourself to incorporate the practice of stillness, the comfort of solitude and the acceptance of one’s self.

Humans are foreign to the planet. Without humans the earth would flourish and grow into a beautiful ecosystem of flora and fauna. We can’t get rid of our race, but we can adjust for the longevity of the earth.

This was said many times by many people and only now people are working on products and ideas to save our planet. Unfortunately, its too late and we now must suffer the consequences, and wonder will our grandchildren ever see the same beautiful world we live in right now.

This world wasn’t created for us; this world has a mind of its own and this ecosystem we thoughtlessly destruct and reconstruct is suffering. I want to do better, we all want to do better, whether its doing better in life or replacing the guilty conscience we carry polluting and littering the earth. Life goes on and everything will change eventually, but for now all we can do is our best.

This is important. This is urgent. This is life.

There is something familiar in the vibrant colours of our organic world, a quiet recognition that moves through the ecosystem we inhabit. You can almost feel the interconnection running through your own veins, mirroring the veins of a leaf, travelling from your fingertips to the delicate tip of its surface, extending outward into the branches of the trees. And when we think of something soft—a blanket, a texture that carries nostalgia or the comfort of memory—there is a strange duality in it. Even gentleness can hold a shadow. Does familiarity ever feel menacing, as though the things that soothe us also remind us of what we’ve lost or long for?
