"More" by Tribambuka is an evocative mixed media collage that weaves together the abstract and the deeply symbolic, exploring Jungian archetypes against a rich tapestry of personal and collective history. Crafted with monotype, letterpress, and a blend of ephemera—including Indian newspapers and reprints of the artist's grandmother's articles from the Soviet Union—this artwork is a visual symphony in black, red, and white. The colours themselves delve into themes of creation, destruction, and purity, while the piece as a whole pays homage to Russian avant-garde traditions, especially Suprematism, in its quest for essential artistic expression.
At the heart of "More" lies the intricate interplay of city, architecture, and structure motifs, serving as metaphors for the collective consciousness and the constructed realities of our identities. These elements symbolize the layers of society and psyche, reflecting the urban complexity where individual lives are entwined within communal narratives. The architectural forms within the collage hint at the ways our personas and worldviews are shaped by cultural norms and historical contexts, echoing Suprematist influences through their abstraction.
Tribambuka's use of structure transcends mere physicality, suggesting an exploration of the internal blueprints governed by archetypal forces within the human soul. Through "More," she invites viewers on a journey into the depths of their own inner landscapes, encouraging a contemplation of the self and society's constant construction and reconstruction in the search for meaning and connection.
In this captivating work, Tribambuka bridges her Russian heritage with the universal, crafting a meditative portal that not only connects with the ancestral and the modern but also navigates the eternal human quest from chaos to order, from fragmentation to wholeness. "More" is both a reflection on and an invitation to explore the architectural complexities of our identities, set against the backdrop of human history and collective memory.
