Inspired by the human body, these pieces often come from personal memories. Often based on familiar faces; other times, shaped by strangers. The main idea behind the work is to craft an honest and straightforward narrative. Like blurry memories of the past, these images reveal themselves as fragments carefully etched on different materials, transforming into remnants of something no longer clear.
