The nine virtual sculptures underlying vitreous resulted from experimental setups by Robert Seidel for generating three-dimensional clusters of fibrous refractions, as well as the gravitational lensing of different volumetric and chromatic densities.

The impalpable luminous formations create prismatic interactions between the ridges and plateaux of the main colours floating in front of the infinite violet background.

Thus with the heightened senses remaining in the head, s/he desires to create a new physical vessel.

A visit to a silent world, where the hearing impaired ask us to listen to them.

From the primitive touch to a 'twist, press, click'—— Piles of images generate and decay into the soil, they are the real flesh, also the intangible memory.

Doors in our life. Each has a melody, like a music box. They have stories, like a book. They will be opened one by one.

A corridor of an apartment is transformed into a claustrophobic and vertiginous vortex that swallows and imprisons you in an infinite fall through a mise en abyme: it’s a pure enclosure inside the image world, it’s the Descent into the Maelstrom.
