Understanding the Unconscious

Overview

The unconscious is not just hidden, it is active, generative, and alive. According to Jung, this vast realm contains forgotten memories, repressed emotions, symbolic patterns, and archetypal images. It influences how we think, feel, and create, often without us knowing. Artists who work with the unconscious don’t try to control it. They enter into dialogue with it, allowing intuition, dreams, and spontaneous imagery to guide the process. When we tune in to the unconscious, we begin to create with greater depth. Symbols arise. Accidents speak. Something deeper starts to shape the work, and us.
