Physics theories, theoretical physics, and research subjects are at the core of my artistic process and outcome. I apply quantum mechanics, string theory, theories of everything and astrophysics, among others, in order to translate these themes into a concept that will be materialized by my art work. My artistic outcome engages a conversation with the viewer on how theoretical physics influences his daily life without being conscious about it. In addition, it reveals that physics could adopt a non-intuitive approach on a certain scale.

 

I model and shape recyclable plastic to create installations and sculptures with transparency. Plastic gives me much freedom to do so due to its texture, malleability, durability and resistance. I melt, heat up, weld, engrave, and shape it. Moreover, optical reflection of light using mirrors is an important part in carrying out the work. On the one hand, I create large scale installations where the viewer experiments the concept by walking through the works. On the other hand, I generate installations or sculptures that will only be translated onto photographs.
