2024, Horror Vacui
(Ceramic tiles)
“Horror Vacui“ is a term in Latin that means “fear of empty space”. This term can be seen in visual art across centuries. I am rather interested in the experience that the fear of emptiness brings to us. By reflecting on my fears of not remembering and being overwhelmed by the noises that I hear due to tinnitus I became able to translate these emotions on tiles that are inspired by old damaged fresco paintings. 

I experimented with many unusual techniques on clay such as screen printing, Dremel tool, or engravings with a laser cutter. I created a collage from the analog photos I took over the past few years. By using multiple different techniques I was able to translate this chaotic visual experience.
