Description

Blending abstract and figurative vocabularies, this work draws inspiration from classical and neoclassical styles. It delves into a primordial forest, tracing remnants of collective memory that predate the rise of civilisations, akin to a dream of endless explorations in the human subconscious. In this expansive and enigmatic realm, humans are not the central figures but rather integral parts of a vast, mysterious world. Within this space, collective memory harbours the belief that wounds will heal, shame will be forgiven, and the burdens of existence will be lifted.
