My Soul Speaks Through My Dreams
Some of the inspiration for My Soul Speaks Through My Dreams came from the study of C.G. Jung’s work, in particular his Red Book tracing the psychic and creative processes of the inner journey during his own mental breakdown. In Red Book Jung emphasizes again and again the importance of dreams, visions and their connection to creativity and well-being. Jung once said that modern so-called knowledge does not enrich us, but instead "removes us more and more from the mythic world in which we were once at home by right of birth"

Where Do You Come From depicts a masked Human Animal figure. Such therianthropes have existed in the consciousness of our ancestors since prehistoric times, portrayed on rocks and caves and preserved within legends and myths. Through her poetic and visionary performative art, Agni has created her own mythical figure of the Cosmic Fox who hails from the ancient landscape of East Mani in Peloponnese.

"By wearing bones on the outside, I am finding that there is life in Death"
The skeletonized figure is the personification of death but also as the seed of the fruit after the flesh has rotted away, the bones represent the potential for rebirth. The Seed of Bones tells a story of dismemberment as a mytho-poetic rendering of the process of fragmentation, dissolution which then leads to renewal and transformation.
