Vitrine series

“In this body of work, I’m reimagining the language of classical still life by placing familiar objects—flowers, fruit, reflective vessels—inside a transparent, glass-like cube. That cube serves as both a visual device and a metaphor: it’s a container for the imagination, but also a nod to the way museums isolate and elevate objects through framing and reflection. I’m interested in how these boundaries shift our perception. Inside the cube, things float in a state of suspension—they’re still, yet fractured. The glass reveals and distorts at the same time, so the image becomes layered, almost unstable. For me, this series is a way of exploring the fragility of observation itself. It’s about how we frame meaning, how beauty can feel artificial when placed under scrutiny, and how the act of seeing is shaped as much by memory and context as by what’s physically there. I want these works to sit at that intersection—between containment and intimacy, illusion and presence.”
