" Ferial " (2022) Original Drawing by Marya

This work was done with a ballpoint pen on office paper A4 , which is glued with tape. I deliberately use the simplest and most non-artistic materials. I want to emphasize the lightness, simplicity, accessibility and illusion of contemporary art.
The work is experienced as an immersion into an intermediate state—somewhere between sleep, memory and space. The upper section, with its soft, fluid forms, evokes something organic, almost internal, whilst the lower section—with its clear perspective and passage of light—introduces an architectural reality. These two layers do not merge directly, but exist as parallel modes of perception. The light below acts as a guide or an exit, yet it seems distant and unattainable.
This work consists of individual sheets of A4 paper, which are glued together with adhesive tape. Along the gluing line, the picture can be bent and folded like an accordion, like a brochure. I am using this opportunity to mail this picture. When you receive this picture, it will be folded like a brochure A4. The picture must be expanded and placed in a graphic frame. This can be easily done by yourself or in any baguette studio.
