Searching for Perun encompasses research into mythological manifestations of chaos and human attempts to reign it in.

 The collection of ten watercolor studies are preparatory works for larger prints and paintings on wood and aluminium panels. Artist combines anthropology and visual representation to examine weather extremes, pagan divinities, and ritualistic practices that defined and contextualised the relationship with nature for Slavic people before transition to Christianity in 988AD. The images tackle a broad range of striking scenes – comet falling, volcanoes erupting, man jumping over a fire in a midsommar ritual, palm trees bending in a storm, horse and a rider galloping in the night. The project asks how attitudes toward the natural world evolved to reverence to commodification in the anthropocene age as we achieved a more sophisticated understanding of natural processes.
