Trace

Trace is a study of perception — a hybrid visual language where photographic fragments become architectural diagrams, and linework reveals the hidden structure inside the world.

Each artwork begins with real photographs: textures, objects, architectural details, or natural fragments. These images are arranged as intentional collages — quiet, asymmetric, evocative. Over them, precise linework unfolds: topographic contours, orthographic projections, and geometric extrapolations that reinterpret the photograph’s form.

Trace sits between blueprint and sketchbook, between fine-art print and architectural analysis. It is a dialogue between what is seen and what is understood.

Caustic

Caustic is a study in purity under assault. Minimal geometric forms — circles, squares, bars, planes — placed against soft neutral fields. Perfect shapes eroded by chemical light, corroded edges, pigment burn, structural decay, and caustic dissolution.

Every token is a meditation on tension: order versus breakdown, geometry versus entropy, serenity versus corrosion. A single shape becomes a battlefield for chemical destruction.

Chairs

Chairs is a study in sculptural absurdity: a museum-grade exploration of chairs that push beyond functional design into expressive, impractical, and architecturally playful form.

Each work is a hyper‑photorealistic portrait of a chair behaving more like a sculpture: a seat that bends too far, loops into itself, contradicts its own engineering, or performs gestures no practical furniture would ever attempt.

The result is a collection where fine‑art photography meets conceptual design, blurring the boundary between object, artwork, and architectural experiment.
