Taking its title from William Blake, I Sought My Soul, considers a contemporary romanticism, a new  sublime in the world. Due to impending threats from war, climate change, disease, new technologies,  identity politics, and unregulated markets, the 2020s thus far has been an era of political, economic,  and social turmoil. In a world increasingly shaped by new technologies and Artificial Intelligence, the  question of identity and the self is fundamentally being redefined. This resulted into a longing for  otherworldly and collective guidance. Mysticism, spirituality, new religions, and the feminine divine  have become societally accepted means of answering increasingly prescient existential questions. 

I Sought My Soul explores the phenomenon of new autonomy within a utopian vision of unity. Drawing  inspiration from a Blakean quote, the exhibition at the church St. Elisabeth in Berlin centres on  commonality and mutual assistance, which lie at the heart of soulful creation. With an optimistic view  towards the future the exhibition highlights a sense of fluidity amongst humanity, technology, artistic  genres and personal orientations. In challenging existing oppressive structures, the show emphasizes an open emotional framework.
