Ongoing series

Isolating an instant is already rediscovering an ocean.
Even when it seems suspended, time continues to move within itself. Each fragment holds the movement it appears to suspend.
In this series, the movement of the ocean is extracted to reveal its continuity. What seems interrupted is not, each fragment becomes an ocean again, a world in itself, shaped as much by what precedes it as by what it moves toward. These sculptures do not seek to freeze time, but to show that it persists in all things. The instant, once defined, once fixed, begins to move again.
In this work, the present moment is approached as a space crossed and shaped by time. Rather than a fixed place, it becomes a shifting one.
Together, the works form a sensitive documentation of movement and its variations, reminding us that the present, like the ocean, cannot contain its own momentum.
The works in this series are available for acquisition. For any inquiry regarding availability or price, please use the contact form.
