From the Personal (to)
(2024)
From the Personal (to) explores coercion, boundaries, and the tension between fragility and severity. In the first series, the still life becomes a fragile stage where a safe, intimate space is disrupted by distortion and intrusion, shaping the archetype of a “nonexistent body.” The second series shifts to a search for the sky, tracing moments of openness within enclosure and revealing the subtle imprints of the external in confined space.
This two-part project unfolds around themes of coercion, the testing of boundaries, and the tension between the rough and the delicate. In the first series, the still life becomes a stage where the bed functions as a visually safe space. Within it, a distorted “body” appears alongside a threatening object. Here, the archetype of the “nonexistent body” emerges — a false illness, both fictional and embodied through artistic means.
The methodology of this still life operates through:
• a hybrid of scientific observation and artistic intuition;
• a deliberate disruption of the binary between the “objective” and the “subjective”;
• the intrusion of an external object into an enclosed, bodily, seemingly protected world.
The second series turns its gaze upward, in search of the sky: glimpsed through architectural corners, traced in light, or at times purposefully withheld. This pursuit becomes an inquiry into the closed frame, which reveals more than its monolithic confinement suggests.
Zones of exploration:
• the possibility of openness within enclosure;
• resistance to emptiness as a generative act;
• the subtle imprints of the external within the closed.From Personal (to) / Photography
