In my thesis I will deal with the theme of the child, which I will materialise with the help of
natural materials in a natural environment. The technological aspect will emphasise the use of
materials that cycle back to their original form, which is mainly provided by mycelium. I am
interested in the child as a source of creativity that is not yet defined in a socio-political
context, i.e. as an image of creativity in its purest form, and wonder. The need to connect with
one's own source (the child) came in the face of questioning and uncertainty in the world,
space and time. The search for answers and external approval proved to be a fragile basis for
action. All the answers lie within ourselves, we just have to go deeper and let the inner child
speak to us. In my thesis I want to highlight the importance of inner communication and the
comfort of the inner child, which, when united with us, will come to life and stimulate our
creativity in its purest form. Natural elements, rather than social constructs, will ensure that
the primary form of creativity is preserved. I will materialise a lost doll from my childhood in
a natural artistic medium. It will be made of jute, soil and seeds that will germinate in the
right conditions. Placed in a meadow, she will blend into nature as the flowers and grasses of
the surrounding flowers will grow over her body. In the process of growth and
metamorphosis, the mycelium will ensure the death and rebirth of the body in a new form.
