The cycle called "The Island was a World" consists of a poem, a video, and paintings in varying combinations. It started as a sentence and an image – The island was a world. An island is land surrounded by water. It forms as soon as it stands out from its surroundings. It simply comes into being by having shores.

Somehow, as the island edges diffuse, it becomes self-aware, forgetting it was an island, and remembering that it is a world. The Island experiences everything that is happening and transforming within it. Through caves, through the eyes of birds and all the creatures that inhabit it, the island observes. It writes laws, discovers patterns and codifies principles, and uses all of them for further, never-ceasing creation.

The Island's experience is shaped by "nodes", which interact, communicate and pass information - points of contact with reality. These points of consciousness are represented by birds in their various forms. There is evidence of life on the Island. These are signs of life that once existed, but are also instructions on how it can be created.

Every image stands for a code, a rule, an algorithm, or a pattern underlying the island's reality. The island is a mathematical model that generates images from patterns hidden within it. These are collected into laws that shape and govern its existence. Like us, the island is a generative consciousness creating images of reality.
