THE ARCHETYPE

Some structures endure. Their manifestations, contexts, and languages change, yet they retain something recognizable.

Jung understood this recurrence as a manifestation of the archetype: deep structures of the psyche that have no single image and reveal themselves through the forms they take. The mother, the hero, and the shadow are some examples.

I am interested in the image’s ability to contain something that precedes it and, at the same time, transform it. My research returns to ways of thinking through which human beings have connected the visible with the intangible.
