Collection concept:

I'm far from closure. The storytelling that transcends mere aesthetics, delving into the realms of emotion, perception, and cognitive dissonance captivates me.

"ah! don’t give me sympathetic intentions!

don’t ask me for definitions!

don’t tell me: “come this way”!

my life is a whirlwind that broke loose,

it’s a wave that rose.

it’s one more atom that ignited…

I don’t know which way I’ll go,

I don’t know where I’m going to,

– I know I’m not going that way!”

Black Chant

José Régio (1901-1969)

Each piece of of work is another step on this journey and it is my way to find a way.
