My research explores the Dionysian experience as a pathway for artistic transformation. In moments of ritual ecstasy, the self dissolves, fear is confronted, and the boundaries between human and nature blur. Dionysos, as the god of wine, excess, and primal instinct, embodies this process of liberation and surrender.

I investigate how the Apollonian element—structure, form, and reflection—interacts with the Dionysian, giving shape to imagination and experience. Through trance, ritual, and performative practice, I position myself as Satyros, a transformative figure through which the inner and primal can emerge.

This research enacts catharsis: pain awakens pleasure, joy erupts into embodied expression, and the artist encounters the eternal forces behind appearances. By embodying the Dionysian, I aim to explore excess, irrationality, and the primal vision that transcends individual identity, generating new perspectives for both practice and perception.
