The works explore how everyday objects become mirrors of collective ideals, fears, and desires. Through the slow process of photorealistic drawing, objects from daily life — often staged and photographed beforehand — are reinterpreted as reflections on time, material, and perception. Photography functions as a tool, not a medium: it captures moments that are later translated into charcoal, transforming the mechanical into the tactile and the instant into duration.

The drawings often serve as a starting point for installations and videos, which expand the same questions into space and motion. These formats allow movement, sound, and rhythm to enter the reflection, translating the stillness of the image into duration and atmosphere. The different media remain connected through a shared interest in observation, construction, and transformation — a sustained attempt to slow perception and make visible what usually escapes attention.
