Bio | My work is a continuous exploration of the layers and transparencies that permeate our reality, often left unspoken or acknowledged. Throughout my creations, I combine personal writings and collages of various materials, allowing their overlays to transform into “accidental” objects, inviting the audience to an active meditation on what surrounds us, is familiar to us, and is often overlooked in everyday life. ​ My central purpose is to highlight that everything transforms through our gaze. The viewer, by offering or denying their time and pause, becomes an active agent in the metamorphosis of my pieces. I emphasize that each person’s truth is intrinsically linked to the willingness to dedicate time to see beyond obvious appearances. My pursuit aims to provoke reflection on the importance of pause in appreciating the varied realities underlying existence. Whether it be writing through heat or acrylic collage, each piece encourages contemplation, asking the viewer to dedicate a moment to the careful observation of the seemingly insignificant. Whether objects or video performances, my creation intends to reveal that the transformation of the observed material transcends physical processes, inviting reflection on ourselves, our moments, and the infinite layers of our feelings. Through this deeper relationship with the surrounding reality, I challenge the viewer to recognize that, by dedicating time to the art of pausing, we transform not only what we see but also our understanding of the nuances of our coexistence. |
