"Ataxies" / "Restlessness"
In this series, I attempt to contain the tangled chaos of my consciousness within strictly controlled frames and boundaries. Using black-and-white compositions, I imprint traces of this internal disorder through stamps and impressions made with recyclable packaging materials and everyday objects on paper.
The works are composed of repetitive abstract patterns arranged in parallel lines, evoking traces influenced by the Japanese art of Bokushõ and modern calligraphy. Through this process, I gradually develop my own visual language—a form of unconscious writing that I later erase or smudge, introducing a third layer of depth and meaning.
Each piece follows its own set of rules, transforming the materials into something new. The compositions, though confined within a structured framework, remain fluid—bridging automatic writing techniques with photographic aesthetics reminiscent of the geometric structure of a Polaroid.
Despite their variations, the works exist in dialogue with one another. They function as complementary pairs, engaging in a silent exchange of rhythm and form, inviting the viewer to uncover the hidden connections between them.
