Mint Touches

“Mint Touches” is a series exploring the subtle and unexpected moments of interaction between humans and nature, embodied in the tactile imagery of animals touching human skin. Each piece becomes a symbolic dialogue where the animal represents various aspects of emotions, fears, tenderness, or inner strength. The use of holographic materials adds a dimension of illusion and transformation, creating the impression that the touch is not only physical but also emotional, where light and color become part of the tactile experience. Mint and turquoise tones enhance the sense of freshness and coolness while evoking associations with water, purity, and transparency. The series draws attention to the fragility of human perception and the unusual closeness between humans and nature. It serves as a metaphor for relationships with the external world, where each touch carries a unique meaning: the balance between gentleness and tension, trust and fear, beauty and danger.
The boundary between human skin and nature becomes delicate, almost illusory. The contrast between the softness of the human face and the textures, lines, and forms of animals creates a tension that combines both tenderness and latent threat.
