Soon_

The installation being part of SOON_33 refers directly to personal explorations of the artist, that is examining the structure, including the internal one, of a human being, mainly his or her spiritual sphere. Tertullian (AD ca. 150–240), a Latin theologian from North Africa, said that he believed because it was absurd. Sometimes you choose to “believe” because of what you see and at other times – despite that. By referring to the character of the space where the project is located, Natalia Rybka shows there a human being as an elementary particle, a fragment of reality. Since the figure grows out of the building, it could be its organic component, yet the space around implies that it is not its natural environment. Therefore, what you see “outside” does not necessarily correspond to what is “inside”. This leads you to making decisions and asking new questions every day.
