From Simi Ninati:
is a bi-lingual book which includes some of my drawings from 1995-2011. Telling a cyclical tale, it was originally designed in 2011 as a handmade leporello that can be read from front to back and vice versa. I liked the idea to encourage the reader to view the story in a different way, to discover an intuitive reading by opening the pages at random.*
Aspects of dream work, female identity and psychoanalytic ideas of the double are woven together to explore and interpret possibilities of femininity. The drawings mirror my specific interest in Ancient Egyptian art, the iconography of sacred codes, metaphors...
A very personal story of transformation and overcoming individual crisis is told, only to realize - it is the Heros journey and everyones story...
Like spells,
drawings and words describe an emotional or spiritual state of being.Drawing and writing, and subsequently the experience of reading, act as witness and catalysts of change, expressing new personal knowledge. Contemplation leads to transformation. Words and images are recognized as instruments of creation.
Mystery and magic symbols are used not merely as decorative poetic devices but play role in a symbolic structure to tell a story for all who seek."
