«Archaic» is my attempt to rethink how tired we are of consumption and mass demands to «fit in» and how much we instinctively want to return to archaism, to the primitive sources of thinking.

According to the theory of Carl Gustav Jung, it is «primitive» thinking that reflects the work of our subconscious, is a primary psychological state.

Deprived of deep awareness, archaic man was able to more subtly sense the world around him, and see himself with it as a single whole. Having separated ourselves from the unconscious for reasons of developing our ego, it is now also important for us to return to our subconscious and connect to it.
