"Through the Mirror" series is characterized by juxtaposition, where opposing elements such as candies, toys, and flowers are fused to anatomical parts and insects, often blurring the extremely thin lines between fantasy and reality, purity and sin, life and death. By creating a childlike and macabre image at the same time, I am revealing to the viewer a sense of sweet decadence. I decontextualize and manipulate objects, giving them a new life, creating a different reality, recreating a world suspended between kaleidoscopic symmetries and hidden symbols. I like to think that hidden behind their shape, function/purpose are their souls, a story to tell made up of places and unknown emotions.
