Colour as intervention. Yellow threads through the entire series as counterpoint and constant — cutting through the monochrome geometry, anchoring the work in something real.

Description
Colour as intervention. Yellow threads through the entire series as counterpoint and constant — cutting through the monochrome geometry, anchoring the work in something real.
The constructions oscillate between real and illusory space. Photographed beyond their actual scale, the models shed all sense of place and proportion. Sharp focus, hard shadows, reflections, image-within-image: a consistent visual language built on controlled chaos — improvised structures, one breath away from collapse.
The references run deep: Constructivism, the New Vision, Moholy-Nagy, the Bechers, Hélène Binet. Le Corbusier, Zumthor, Hadid. Judd, LeWitt, Serra. Sculpture is the other half of the practice — three-dimensional constructions collapsed into the flat, decisive rectangle of the frame.
What looks constructed is found. What looks planned is improvised.
Mirrors, cardboard, paper, foil. A closer look is always worth it.
