One Game only
The work deals with metamorphosis over time; it generates images that represent untouchable, unrealistic moments. The visuals and sound captivate illusive moments to the human eye, providing a unique opportunity to experience lost moments of reality.
By using technical manipulation, time stretches to amorphous dimensions that do not relate to “time” as defined by man.
I wish to emphasize the understanding that we are temporary and our temporariness creates a paradox: This understanding is what makes us vulnerable but is also what makes us so human.

My practice
My process explores pre-religious spiritual rituals, which I see as the earliest form of artistic expression, stemming from my research in the intersections between anthropology and archaeology and what influence and meaning they have for contemporary existence. I try and find links between ancient objects, tools and habitats and contemporary culture, and express these connections by creating immersive installations, merging traditional materials, like Bronze, plaster, and clay with more advanced technological elements, such as electronics, video and audio. For example, in 2018 I created a Digital fire sculpture, from Neon and synchronized sounds.
