Collision.
This series of works is based on an idea of violent clash of the opposites - objects, ideas, feelings, as an origin of something new. A place and moment of transformation where two or more entities collide to change each other forever. The clash, violent or gentle, sudden or imperceivably slow; always has a ripple effect on its surrounding. Collision is a catalyst of every transformation and often also its end - growth and destruction linked and intertwined. In the moment, frozen (or rather congealed by fire) in movement, there’s no way of knowing which it would be. The change is inevitable but its judgement as positive or negative is forever suspended.
I am drawn to the ambiguity, to the impossibility of final assessment. The moment is what interests me, not necessarily its consequences. I capture the tension between hardness and softness, matte and lustre.
