My final project “Debri” (wild forest) in Master’s degree. I was in the city of Sorrento (Italy) and I saw an abandoned mill. The old mill is mysteriously located in a gorge closed to people and becomes overgrown with primeval forest. I liked the idea of combining antiquity with modernity. Therefore, I remembered the old Slavic word “Debri” and I began to explore the use of this symbol in art. Since many artists and writers have used the image of wild nature, so I decided to use the Brothers Grimm fairy tales as the main source of inspiration for patterns and finding details for the design. I decided to develop my own forest and fairy tale. Link to my portfolio : https://www.behance.net/daryabalnykova/projects
