" Hope for a better life 2015-20 50x50 Digital photography and computer graphic
In the vast ocean of existence, where waves rise and collapse in an eternal dance of impermanence, there emerges a golden beacon. An unwavering pyramid, untouched by the chaos that surrounds it. It stands as a symbol of hope, of a life yet to be reached, of a reality sculpted by our will to transcend. The wave may rage, distort, and obscure, yet it is also the force that propels us forward.
Hope is not the absence of struggle, but the quiet defiance of surrender. It is the belief that beyond the tempest, a higher form of life awaits shaped not by circumstance, but by the light we choose to follow. The golden pyramid is not merely an object of desire but a testament to resilience, a structure that rises above uncertainty and remains unshaken.
The wave, dark and boundless, mirrors the trials of life, the moments of doubt, the forces beyond our control, the constant pull of the unknown. Yet within its motion lies a paradox: what threatens to consume us also carries us toward transformation. It is only by navigating the depths, by embracing the chaos without succumbing to it, that we find the strength to ascend.
Hope, then, is not a passive wish but an active pursuit. It is the decision to rise each day despite the weight of the storm, to seek meaning where none seems apparent, to believe in a light that is sometimes unseen but never absent. The golden pyramid stands as a promise, a future not yet realized but always within reach, for those who dare to endure the tide.

"Fragments of a Forgotten Dream" pt1 of 32023 50x50 Digital photography and computer graphic
This piece exists in the liminal space between perception and obscurity, where form dissolves into emotion, and light fractures into memory. Deep shadows weave through ethereal reflections, creating a dance of uncertainty and revelation. The hues of blue and black evoke a sense of introspection, of drifting between realms halfway between the tangible and the ephemeral.
Like the soul navigating the unknown, this work captures the tension between presence and absence, the seen and the imagined. It is not merely an image but a sensation, an invitation to lose oneself in the fluidity of existence, to embrace the distortion, and to find meaning within the void.

"The Dark Side of the Light" 2015-20 50x50 Digital photography and computer graphic
Light and darkness are not opposites but reflections of the same truth, intertwined in an eternal dialogue. In this piece, illumination does not banish the shadows; instead, it reveals them, giving form to the unseen and depth to the void. The interplay of glowing fragments and obscured spaces speaks to the duality of existence. How clarity can emerge from distortion, and how even the brightest moments carry traces of the unknown.
This work is an exploration of perception, of what lies beneath the surface of understanding. It invites the viewer to confront the hidden dimensions of light, where beauty is shaped by contrast, and meaning is found not in certainty, but in the space between revelation and mystery.

" perfect balance" 2015-20 50x50 Digital photography and computer graphic
Balance is not the absence of tension but the mastery of it. Perfect Balance explores the delicate equilibrium between opposing forces stability and fragility, structure and fluidity, duality and unity. Two cubes, connected by a golden strip, stand in silent dialogue, bound yet distinct, separate yet harmonized.
Gold, the symbol of transcendence and perfection, serves as the bridge between contrasting elements, suggesting that true balance is achieved not by eliminating differences but by embracing them. In a world where extremes pull us in different directions, this piece reminds us that harmony is not a static state but an ever-evolving dance, a moment of alignment in the flux of existence.

" Encounter" pt1 2015-20 50x50 Digital photography and silver gold paint
Life is a series of near meetings paths that intertwine yet never fully merge. Encounters captures this quiet tension, where two lines, one silver and one gold, journey side by side, drawn toward an inevitable moment that never quite arrives.
Silver, fluid and reflective, represents the ephemeral, the transient nature of our experiences. Gold, solid and radiant, embodies the eternal, the unshakable truths we seek. Though parallel, they share a silent dialogue, a resonance beyond touch.
In this composition, the space between them becomes the essence of connection itself, a reminder that the most profound encounters are not always about collision but about movement in harmony, about the invisible thread that binds even those who never meet.

"Freedom" 2015-20 50x50 Digital photography and silver gold paint
Freedom is both release and transformation, a state of being where constraints dissolve, and essence flows unbound. Freedom captures this moment through the alchemy of gold and silver, dripping against a monochrome void, like unspoken thoughts spilling into existence.
Silver, fluid and ethereal, speaks of impermanence, of change in motion. Gold, rich and luminous, symbolizes the immutable, the truth that remains after all else fades. Together, they descend without restraint, unconfined by form, embodying the paradox of freedom: a surrender that leads to self-discovery.
In this piece, light and shadow frame the dripping metals, emphasizing that true liberation is not the absence of structure but the courage to dissolve within it to let go, to transform, to become.

"The unseen reality"2015-20 50x50 Digital photography and computer graphic
A mirror is not merely a reflection it is a gateway, a confrontation, a silent witness to our existence. In Mirror, the restless movement of the wave contrasts with the stillness of two golden rectangles, suspended like portals to an unseen reality. They do not reflect the world as it is but as it might be, distorting perception and inviting introspection.
Gold, a symbol of purity and permanence, frames the fluidity of the ocean, a reminder that time, like water, reshapes even the most steadfast structures. Yet, within this duality, the mirrors do not touch; they remain parallel, suggesting an eternal search for meaning, a dialogue between the tangible and the intangible.
Do we see ourselves in these frames, or do they reveal what lies beyond? In the vastness of the unknown, Mirror challenges us to ask: Is reality what we perceive, or merely a reflection of what we are willing to see?

"The unstable equilibrium of existence" 50x50 2'15-20 Digital photography and computer graphic
Balance is an illusion, a fleeting moment between stillness and collapse. In The Unstable Equilibrium of Existence, three spheres precariously align, yet one begins to fall, disrupting the fragile harmony that once held them together. This composition speaks to the interconnected nature of being, how the movement of a single element sends ripples through the whole, how the fate of one is inextricably linked to the others.
Existence itself is a balancing act, where even the smallest shift can redefine stability. We strive for equilibrium, yet we are constantly at the mercy of forces beyond our control, gravity, time, consequence. The falling sphere embodies the inevitability of change, the moment where certainty dissolves into chaos.
But is this collapse an end, or the beginning of a new formation? Just as destruction precedes renewal, imbalance may be the catalyst for transformation. In this delicate interplay between order and disorder, The Unstable Equilibrium of Existence invites us to reflect: Are we merely trying to maintain balance, or learning to embrace the fall?

"The Solitude to Have a Soul" 2015-20 50x50 Digital photography and computer graphic
This photograph captures the quiet, desolate beauty of a shore, where the endless horizon meets the water in a serene embrace. In the midst of the stillness, a solitary abstract golden line weaves across the scene, leading the eye toward the sphere at its center. The sphere, illuminated and untouched, symbolizes the purity of introspection, representing the essence of the soul amidst the solitude. It is in these moments of stillness and quiet reflection that the soul finds its deepest connection to the self, unshaped, yet fully whole. This piece invites the viewer to embrace the solitude necessary to discover one's true nature.
"Where the Love is a Crime" 2015-20 50x50 Digital photography and computer graphic
In this dramatic photograph, the raw energy of a wave collides with two gleaming golden spheres, poised at the brink of destruction. The black and white contrast of the image intensifies the tension between love and consequence, portraying an inevitable clash between the force of nature and the delicate beauty of connection. The spheres, fragile yet radiant, symbolize the vulnerability of love. Something so pure, yet seemingly destined for turmoil when it challenges boundaries. This piece explores the idea that love, in its truest form, is both a transcendent force and an act that disrupts the status quo, suggesting that where love exists, it may be seen as a crime ,uncompromising and unyielding in its pursuit.
