Daggers have been used throughout human history for close combat confrontations, and in many cultures were used in ritual and ceremonial contexts. In old Buddhist writings, the spider lily is said to guide the dead through samsara, the cycle of rebirth, thus spider lilies symbolize death and reincarnation. The sound, a monk's chant delivered from a Buddhist temple, gently enhances the animation's meaning.


The works of Ada Sokół allow viewers to glance into the world of extraordinary imagination and offer a glimpse into her perspective on the beauty surrounding us. Subtlety, femininity, magic—these keywords are the most accurate way to describe her aesthetic. The visuals she designs are an ultra-sensory experience based on oniric scenery resembling visions of the far future. The main inspirations for her renders are creatures and phenomena from the surrounding environment:water bears, sea dragons, orchids or fungi. As an independent entity, Ada Sokół quickly embodied a solid, self-made 3D brand. During her years in Paris and London, the unique style of her works developed during collaborations with Nike, Apple, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Rimowa, and Gentle Monster on global campaigns, videos, and multimedia installations. Recently, she has made an appearance at multiple exhibitions (Miami Art Basel, Dubai Expo) and debuted as an academic lecturer at ECAL(Lausanne). Her works have been exhibited worldwide, from Beijing, New York, and Los Angeles to London and Paris.

*Rendering by the Water* is a selection of female-identifying and non-binary perspectives on inhabiting reality and dreams, between the natural, the inner, the domestic, the outer, and the imaginary worlds.


We recognize images as they shape shift, formless; textures vibrate, glow, transform, in a time-based exploration of identity and subjectivity that is fluid and true to the principles of their own queerness, and therefore merging with facts and reality in a diffractive way.
They materialize dream-like realms and “out of this world” perspectives on seemingly mundane, ordinary things and notions of space or natural order. And they do that not as immaterial mirages or illusions, rather, they contribute to the forming of a new consciousness, beyond our limited perceptions, beyond what is presently imaginable. Audre Lorde said it’s through dreams that revelations, that new meaning and knowledge might infiltrate and inform existing structures to organize and function differently, in an act of taking up space that occurs outside the dominant methods and means.


Almost like psychological spaces, maybe self-portraits, these works are rendered as fastical forms to stretch our imagination and provide access to visions and alternative knowledge that might be capable of contributing to world-making and meaningful transformations in the material world.

Nine perspectives on inhabiting reality and dreams.
