"In recent years, my research has focused on the narrative potential of objects, and on the possibility of questioning, through their recombination and alteration, the way in which reality is perceived. Rethinking objects through their recombination is for me a process that goes beyond the aesthetic field, it is the practical counterpart of a speculative process of continuous rethinking of reality. This last seems to be alien, nebulous and elusive. I mean the corpus of my works as a series of simulacra, of apparitions coming from a parallel dimension, that seems to testify an hypothetical world deprived of the human presence, but full of traces and remains of it, as well as of alien presences. I mean these apparitions as deforming lenses, seductive bodies full of dark implications."
