We Don't Know How It Works

These drawings are created by a very specific technique. I call it a jet drawing or a high voltage drawing. The machine is written in Cyrillic Lichtenberg. Lichtenberg was a Baroque German scientist and thinker. He was the first to display these small lightning, which was actually the very first display of electric current or voltage. That's why this is called Lichtenberg's patterns. But the roots of trees and plants also look like form. Everything actually leads to some similar morphology, and it is a bewitching, fascinating.

This is a bit of a specific drawing, because I usually withdraw in my drawing to some like that of the face and psyche and psychology associated with it. I don't address the figure as such. And just recently, I drew something completely basal as a human depiction. And because I like to accompany my things with a text where an interesting intense link between the message and the message and the picture information is created. Such a tension.


On this drawing is the text “We Don’t Know How It Works”, and I come across that we know a lot as people/civilization, but we don't know a lot either. And because the patterns remind, among other things, the brain synapse, so there are a lot of things. We also know a little about the brain.
