Polyester resin, 2025
The sculptures of the “Bones” series appear as transparent fragments of memory — like archaeological remains of a body that is both present and absent. Cast in polyester resin with pigments and organic inclusions, they recall traces of blood, tissues, and soil.
These are not anatomical models but rather “phantoms of bones” — objects that have lost their solidity and turned into fragile containers of memory. They embody the experience of the body in war and displacement: when the body breaks into fragments yet becomes an archive that preserves the marks of violence, trauma, and care.
Their translucency evokes X-ray images or laboratory specimens, searching for diagnosis and the possibility of healing. At the same time, the bones resemble future artifacts — fragile yet carrying within them the history of survival.
Here, the bone ceases to be a symbol of death and becomes a body-memory: a vessel of vulnerability, a remnant of fragile yet enduring presence.
