Concept
In a rational and Weberian-disenchanted world, there is no room left for anything metaphysical. I want to «cast a spell» on this world again—to feel some mystery and adventure, even just walking through the city.
At the core of my creative work is a somewhat childlike hope that there is still a place in this world for something strange and not entirely explainable, coupled with a love for the absurd, abstraction, and the urban environment.
I am drawn to objects that are perceived differently than their intended function suggests—or to spaces that feel exceptional in a given moment.
Starting with street metaphysical photography, I moved toward working with its fragments and developing two new series.
«Snippets»
Abstract digital collages, assembled from fragments of urban objects, voids, and scribbles. Stripped of their familiar context, the objects partially lose their functionality, leaving space for form, texture, and color. From these fragments, compositions emerge—balancing abstraction with metaphysics.
«Portals»
Those same spaces where familiar signs of the strange and the not-quite-explainable exist: the signature, abstract forms, and vacant patches no longer exist separately from reality—they begin to permeate it.

Exhibition Example
The A4 sheets in the second row from the bottom are my narratives about certain objects that formed the basis of the «Pieces» series. I feel that their inclusion will draw the audience into the mythology of my work.
