Tempests
Storms and tempests are one of the most recurrent themes in the imagination of Romanticism and a phenomenon that holds great symbolism in many cultures, such as the myth of the creator storm, the tangible expression of the anger of the gods, or the foam like fertility.
Monuments
The Monuments series is marked by a constant search for the symbiosis between the spaces of the sculpture (the space volume and hollow sculptures), the architecture (the flowing space between inside and outside of the pedestals) and the landscape (the open space, unusual by unreal).
Hierophanies
The Hierophanies project constitutes an intellectual and empirical approach to the work of the Romanian philosopher Mircea Eliade, who coined this term to refer to an awareness on nature of the existence of the sacred.
Artificial Infinite
Artificial Infinite is a photographical enquiry on the aesthetical status of the sublime, which is represented as a controlled fear that attracts the soul, present in qualities like the immensity, infinity, emptiness, loneliness, or silence.
