Displaced Realities Series (2025)Mixed-media painting
by Gela MIKAVA

In this new series, I delve into the fractured nature of existence—where identity, time, and space refuse to settle into fixed definitions. These works are an exploration of dislocation, both internal and external, a visual dialogue on the tension between belonging and estrangement.

Each piece captures the sensation of being suspended between worlds, where the body dissolves into its surroundings, yet remains restless, seeking form. The use of fluid lines and layered transparencies reflects the impermanence of self-perception, the constant shift between presence and absence, clarity and dissolution.

This series does not merely depict chaos—it embodies the fragility of stability, the ceaseless transformation of the human condition. It is about the ruptures in time and consciousness, where the mind and body struggle to synchronize with their surroundings, forever searching for a moment of alignment that never fully arrives.

Here, the boundaries between the organic and the psychological, the natural and the constructed, blur into an unresolved tension. The works pose a fundamental question: Can we ever truly inhabit a single moment, a single identity, a single place?
