Art: This body of work doubles as a stock taken of events bothering on the mysteries of existence, and the search for utopia, which raises the question of how and where to look. In constructing these soulful surfaces, in practice the phenomenon of “ruin and renewal” is engaged in relevance to the condition of the material, which, is used with profound passion.
