“The work aims to set up a dialogue between truth and deception in representation through the context of photography. I look for the juxtaposition between images and their contextual settings, aiming to explore the feeling of absurd that often occurs at this meeting point. The tension between the engaging qualities of colour and the eeriness of raw topics often invades the work, reacting to the latent mutation of spaces, apparatuses and trends of society. This play of metaphors occurs in a kind of push and pull between natural hypothesis and the furtive naturalization of spaces.”
