There’s a reality to discover, in which things are exactly the opposite of what we knew. What moves us is mainly based on expectations, imagination and their fulfilment, but reality is often revealing an unexpected side. Sometimes It’s better, sometimes It’s worse, but It’s always surprising.
Through my work I’m defying the laws of the reality we know, playing with the nature of materials. I see our surroundings as an “equilibrium of uncertainties” that I kept and turned into delicate body related objects.
My pieces are created after a long process of experimentation with materials in order to subvert the common way of thinking and perceiving them. By engaging directly with materials I let them revealing their deeper side. In making my work I’m always looking for the inner tension of things that I finally shape into a new and temporary balance.
