Micro Cosmos

The series of collages and pastel drawings in Micro Cosmos explores the relationship between the human being and the universe, presenting the individual as a microcosm that mirrors the structure and principles of the larger cosmos. In these works, cells, particles, and primordial elements become symbols of the profound connection between inner reality and the material universe. Visual forms often resemble both biological cells and cosmic bodies, creating an intentional ambiguity: the viewer may not be certain whether they are observing microscopic life or distant planets. This duality suggests that the same fundamental principles shape both the living body and the universe itself.

The series also explores this idea in three works—Cosmo, Volcano, and Elements of the Cosmos. Cosmo is composed so that the image can be read simultaneously as a smiling face and as a constellation of elemental or cosmic objects, a playful ambiguity echoed in some of the pastel drawings. Volcano shifts toward a pop-art language, incorporating a cartoon-like character alongside planets and cosmic elements. Elements of the Cosmos, executed entirely with airbrush on canvas, acts as a transitional work, bridging the techniques of Micro Cosmos with those developed in the painted series Macro Cosmos.

The collages reference elemental particles such as hydrogen, helium, and the early compound HeH⁺, evoking the universe’s earliest moments while also pointing inward toward the foundations of our own being. Through abstract, layered imagery, Micro Cosmos becomes a visual meditation on internal landscapes, where the intimate and the infinite converge. The series invites the viewer to recognise a fragment of the universe within themselves and to consider how the vastness of the cosmos and the hidden architecture of the body reflect one another.
