Fishes & Sails

Fish and sailboats share the same territory: water as a metaphor for transit, for that which flows and cannot be held. In these works, the photograph transferred onto canvas becomes material memory—images that seem rescued from the bottom of the sea or from a recurring dream—while backlit light transforms each piece into a small lantern, an underwater window.

The sailboats ply circular world maps like poetic compasses; the fish swim suspended in acetate and wire, freed from two-dimensionality. The series is a voyage between the real and the dreamlike, where each work is a nautical chart toward nowhere specific and all possible places.
