Corpus, a fossil.
The pagination of a fragmented form.
Empty space and body — a duet.
Each work invites the viewer into a moment of meditation, a mental logout.
This project aims to evoke a suspended mental state — a brief calm for our overstimulated senses. The artist explores dialogue and tension — or its absence — between one element and another.
It’s about interaction. Compatibility. The interplay between the inner and the outer. The creation of unity through spatial coexistence: the corpus (body) and its surrounding empty space. The series presents a vision of these two corresponding spaces — the internal and the external — in delicate balance.
At its heart, the series is a reflection on the human body.
A sense of being. A sense of being with oneself. The balance that the senses bring to our lives, and the daily beauty of inhabiting the body we’ve been given. It’s a story of touch, of interaction between body and the space it inhabits.
The works were created using:
Sculptures shaped by the human body — body creating body.
Photographs of these sculptures — using light to paint form via the “magical box” that is a camera.
The final expression is a digital collage, layered with the poetics of mixed media.
The series was created as a tribute to the Metropolitan Museum, celebrating the values it promotes and the global artistic access it offers through the Open Access initiative.
Each piece includes elements from the Metropolitan Museum’s open-access collection of historic materials.
Each work is signed.
Limited edition. Fine art print.
Certificate of authenticity included.
It’s all about imagination, (emptied) spaces, and us.
It’s about the relationship between the human body and the space around it.
So, it’s about us — our soul and our body.
This is Corpus.
With our presence, at every moment of our lives, we leave a mark — like a trace.
The human body is both inner and outer space. A living organism made of interwoven systems.
From the perspective of chemistry — which is much closer to us than we often realize — our bodies are primarily water and organic compounds built on carbon. With our bodies, we imprint ourselves onto the world. Our identity leaves a trace somewhere in the surroundings we inhabit.
The spaces we pass through — the unfamiliar environments we encounter — become the canvas. Empty space, waiting to receive our organic, carbon-based imprint.
All we need is space — within and around us.
