Between Time, Identity and the Essence of Change
The works depict spaces and settings that are more than their literal appearance; they function as metaphors for the layers of human experience and personal processes. They embody voids waiting to be filled, places preparing for what is to come. These spaces are not neutral; they are charged with meaning and dynamics, offering a way to explore and understand our perception of the world.
Spaces emerge as in-between places, literally and figuratively in transition. They invite reflection on change, on how time is experienced, and how we relate to what was, what is, and what will be. The emphasis often falls on decay or disappearance, on moments that make the passage of time tangible. Within these moments, a sense of timelessness arises, creating space to reflect on what has passed and what lies ahead.
The works also explore the dynamics between the individual and society, with our relationship to larger systems and the forces that shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions. They raise questions of identity and authenticity in a world whose social, cultural, historical, and political structures are constantly shifting or reinterpreted. They reveal the tension between the personal and the collective, between the desire for self-definition and the influence of wider society.
In addition, the works are a search for the essence of things, beyond their superficial forms. They investigate what remains when an object or idea loses its original form. Even as something disappears, a trace remains, an echo of what once was. The works invite us to look beyond the visible, to explore the underlying structures and truths: what is real, and what is illusion? What remains when we look past the façade?
In this way, the works reflect on transience and loss. Everything, from technology to memories, is subject to time. They evoke a melancholic awareness of the elusiveness of what we try to hold onto, while simultaneously revealing the continual movement and the ongoing search for meaning in all that disappears.
