The diptych results from the research of media images that depict conditions of oppression & violence against humanity (wars, women, work, immigration). The sculptural forms created based on this information and the use of light painting, discharge the intensity of the image creating an atmospheric dystopia, of indefinite space & time to highlight the ambiguities in the recording & reception of history due to the rapid development of technology and the misuse of information.
diptych
The diptych results from the concerns regarding the daily attitude of the individual towards modern society and their place in it. It investigates questions of the “materiality” that consists of the “core” of a person in the modern landscape. It is inspired by cosmogonic mythology, microcosm-macrocosm and scientific theories about the origin of the universe. Although the research focuses mainly on the past, it creates and proposes a future entity that reflects the primitive, the archetype and the rawest part of the individual that is connected to the universe.
