This collection explores the Enso on a grand scale, crafted to allow space for the human body within, making it part of the performance's choreography.
"Enso - The Circle of Everything” Collection 2023- 2024
This collection of works is part of the artist’s ongoing practice centred around Enso as a gateway to synchronicities. Following her visits to Japan in 2018 and 2019, the artist has been studying the traditional art of Japanese calligraphy known as shodo from a Japanese teacher Rie Takeda. Over the years, Kamila has developed her own painting style blending Zen elements with her other practice of aerial movement and performance.
Enso, the iconic circular symbol, considered to be the pinnacle of Zen Buddhism. Empty yet full, infinite yet complete. It symbolises unity, enlightment, strength and elegance in all its purity and simplicity. It reflects Japanese aesthetics and Zen-philosophy of capturing being in a flow with energy. The artist paints the circle in one breath, with no corrections permitted afterwards. This kind of painting practice explores synchronicities from movement and energy captured in the single moment.
