Transition

"Transition" (2022) by Pfishova is a mesmerizing record of change, transitional states, and the elusive moment when one form of matter mutates into another. Submerged in the artist's canonical, matte, and uncompromising black, the work renounces color to make the three-dimensional relief the sole vehicle of drama. The composition relies on a diagonal, ascending movement. The central structure, woven from layered, used polypropylene nets and frayed fabrics, evokes climbing rhizomes, a network of blood vessels, or the creeping shadow of an organic form.

Pfishova masterfully operates with density—the raw, tangled elements scattered along the edges gradually condense toward the center, forming a sculptural, fleshy node. Fine, thread-like cords and wires extend in all directions like nerves or roots seeking a new anchor, laying claim to the smooth space of the canvas. The titular "Transition" takes on a profound, process-oriented dimension in this piece. It can signify a psychological transformation, a painful emergence from the crises of previous years (symbolized by the year of creation—2022), or a biological metamorphosis.

The plastic woven into the canvas, treated by the artist as civilizational waste, undergoes an ultimate mutation through the creative process—it ceases to be refuse and becomes an integral fabric of art. It is a poignant study of fluidity and adaptation, demonstrating that within darkness and destruction, the potential for a new beginning continuously pulsates.
