BOOK – is the object of my creation
DOODLING – archive of freedom
CAMEL – analogy of the creative process / artistic research*

For a camel, the hump is important to survive in unfavorable circumstances. When traveling through the desert  helps to endure for a long time without food and water.

In the case of my study, the hump metaphor accommodates two opposite meanings. At one time it is a burden, an additional weight, at another time, it is a necessary element to support the creative process.
[...]
The camel allows himself to go through changing circumstances, and I travel through him.
When I go up the mountain, sometimes the sun shines, it warms, the rays dazzle, burn... sometimes it starts to rain, the wind blows and my skin shivers...

And who carries your journey?
