Enclosed Spaces

Confinement appears here not only as a physical condition, but as a psychological one. Cages, walls, interiors, routines, and memory are treated not as settings, but as forces that shape inner life. These works focus on pressure, isolation, repetition, and the slow way external limits become internal ones.

Sacred Without Faith

The series explores the sacred beyond religious systems—as an inner state shaped by the tension between the need to believe and the inability to accept given forms of faith. Symbols here remain active even as belief fades, carrying a force that resists rational explanation.

Fragile Figure

Figures in this series are deprived of stability: they deform, compress, and dissolve into their surroundings, losing their own boundaries. The body is not a support but a site of vulnerability and inner tension— a state in which a person exists on the edge between presence and disappearance.
