“The Golden Flight”

This collage unfolds as a symbolic journey through history, myth, and identity. Birds, statues, maps, and human figures create a layered space where past and present coexist. The central path, cut from a fragment of a map, suggests the movement of time and personal transformation — a journey both external and internal. Ancient statues and Egyptian pyramids stand as symbols of collective memory, while the golden birds connect them to the realm of imagination, carrying fragments of light and voice. Figures from different eras — a solitary traveller, a woman in military attire, a smiling face — embody multiple roles that identity can take on. The work reflects on how culture, history, and personal experience intertwine, forming a landscape of myth and memory. Through juxtaposition of elements, the collage invites viewers to walk along this symbolic road, recognising that identity is not linear but woven from fragments of time, place, and imagination.
