Introducing The Tongue’s Wrangle by Kristina Zimbakova, a multidisciplinary artist whose work seamlessly blends visual art, poetry, and natural science. This captivating piece, created with soft pastel, charcoal, chalk, and lichen on handmade paper from wood-inhabiting fungi, is a powerful exploration of language and self-discovery.

Zimbakova's art is a vivid fusion of nature and words, with each element carefully selected to evoke deep emotions—love, pain, fear, and ecstasy. Her work draws inspiration from the poetry of Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, and others, incorporating their words into her visual creations. The mycelium of fungi serves as both a literal and metaphorical thread, connecting the world of nature with the poetic spirit. The choice of materials highlights her commitment to sustainability and conservation, transforming organic matter into art that resonates with both the eye and the soul.

The Tongue’s Wrangle is a testament to the intricate relationship between language, nature, and identity, inviting viewers to experience the interconnectedness of life through a unique artistic lens.
