We went into the darkness of Vrana Park and placed the perfect geometry of the line and the sphere against the beautiful, wild breath of nature. It wasn’t an exhibition. It was a ritual.
For a long time, the world has been shouting. We’ve been living in a frequency of chaos—the pandemic, the stress, the endless digital noise. It felt as if the invisible threads that hold us together, the ones that connect our spirits to each other and to the Earth, had finally snapped. We felt a calling to make it stop. Not just to turn down the volume, but to reach a state of total stillness.
When you place a straight line in a forest, you’re not competing with nature; you’re creating a space to notice it. In that surreal fusion of light and sound, something shifts. You find yourself alone in the dark, yet you feel more connected than ever. You realize that even in the silence, there is a pulse. This was the birth of ‘The Invisible Threads’ at Sofia Lights 2021.
The installation was designed to show us what is already there. Even when the world feels broken, the threads remain. We just need to be quiet enough to see them again. We just need to find the frequency where we are alone, together.
