This digital video artwork explores Carl Jung's theory of the “collective unconscious” through the symbolic narrative of the flood myth. Divided into three parts, the work shows the psychological journey of human beings through crisis, recovery and the construction of meaning, a process deeply rooted in cultural memory and the collective unconscious.

Unconscious Currents represents both the origins of thought and the fluidity of consciousness, mirroring the flood and the collective unconscious.

​

In the first, turbulent waves of particles symbolize destruction and the unconscious overtaking order. Howling winds, flood sirens, and barking evoke primal fear, here the flood signifies both physical catastrophe and psychological collapse.

The second section depicts scattered particles converging into a human form—the “Image of God”. In chaos, humanity seeks meaning, projecting salvation onto a higher being. Yet, the work suggests that God is not external but a manifestation of human resilience and will.

​

In the final segment, the figure dissolves, and particles reassemble into the blooming flowers with the human footsteps, symbolizing Survivors explore this new and growing world.

By visualizing the formation and dissolution of archetypes, Unconscious Currents examines how myths and symbols shape humanity’s response to trauma and rebirth.
