“Space junk” which from afar resembles tiny paint specks, are debris left over by humans satellites that are now trapped into the universe. The debris have different scales depending on the point of view.
The shapes were inspired by the forms of actual debris, the paint specks laser cut on each shape represent the perception of space junk in the universe. The sculpture plays with lights and shadows to disorient the viewer.
DEBRIS
These works focus on debris accumulated on a surface.
The wood was carved to create the dimensional effect of the paint. It challenges the traditional ways of painting
The carving is very delicate in order to almost be perceived as a thin layer of paint. When looking closer at the carved areas, the wood grain becomes visible and creates a beautiful natural dynamic.

These works are inspired by the duality between dark and light alluding to an eclipse. Saber’s beads is the broken arc of illumination surrounding the moon. The gold has been carved with a laser cutter to be damaged and broken. They are references to the relationship between nature and humanity.
