'Marblesque'

During visits to galleries in Rome, I was profoundly moved by the virtuosity of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Antonio Corradini’s ‘Veiled Lady’, and Giovanni Strazza’s ‘Marble Veil’. Stone becomes breath; weight becomes weightless; opacity becomes translucence. �The veil, carved from solid rock, appears soft enough to lift with a fingertip. It both reveals and protects, intensifies and obscures.
This body of work continues that centuries-old dialogue between material and illusion. Where the Baroque masters transformed marble into fabric, I translate that same tension through photography — using light, movement, and flowing white cloth to echo the paradox they achieved in stone. Their sculptures fixed a fleeting softness into permanence; my images suspend a living body within a momentary architecture of folds.
The veil becomes a mediator between past and present, sculpture and photograph, solidity and fragility. It traces the contours of the female form while simultaneously interrupting the gaze. Concealment becomes a form of revelation. What is withheld gains presence; what is softened gains strength.

Plastic has become woven into the fabric of our daily existence. It’s everywhere — in our homes, our landscapes, even our bodies — yet it often remains unseen.
Each year, around 500 billion plastic bags are used worldwide — more than one million every minute. Most serve their purpose for a fleeting 15 minutes before being discarded, yet they linger in the environment for centuries, perhaps forever.
More than 40 percent of all plastic is used once and thrown away, a testament to both its convenience and its threat. Over the past decade, humanity has produced more plastic than in the entire previous century, embedding this synthetic material deeper into the story of life on Earth.
The Bloomastics series responds to this reality by making the invisible visible. It explores the omnipresence of plastic in our everyday lives and surroundings — not with didactic imagery, but through a subtle, aesthetic language. Each work is designed to captivate and engage, drawing viewers in on a visual level and transforming into a catalyst for conversation. Ultimately, Bloomastics invites us to reconsider our relationship with this enduring material and reflect on the legacy we are leaving behind.
