DRINK ME

In this series I work with the image of the glass as a recurring motif, often already encountered through the screen of a phone. I am interested in a state where presence is no longer immediate and begins to be performed.

The scenes are based on everyday situations. We drink, pause, celebrate something. These actions repeat and become habitual. The moment is captured, but not always lived.

The glass becomes both a surface and a boundary. It reflects, distorts and separates, turning personal experience into an image. What appears intimate in these scenes is already partly mediated.

The works focus on simple rituals through which contemporary life unfolds. In them I look at how attention shifts from experience to display, and how the image gradually begins to replace the experience itself.

I am also interested in a certain duality. On one side there is distance and emptiness. On the other, within repetition and everyday situations, a specific visual density and attraction appears, along with a sense of beauty for me as an artist.

The series reflects the difference between living a moment and representing it. Presence here feels constructed rather than directly experienced.

There is also a sense of a contemporary memento mori in these works, not connected to tragedy, but to everyday emptiness and repetition.

The titles reinforce this by connecting a personal, almost diary-like experience with a broader condition of contemporary life.
