Recollection Collection

The series of paintings and papier-maché objects depicts items of sentimental value that serve as symbols or souvenirs. These objects are shaped by exaggerated imagination, often possessing a questionable aesthetic appeal that can exhaust, provoke, amuse, and inspire in equal measure. They frequently function as primal gifts, cherished for emotional reasons, and at times, we irrationally imbue them with magical significance, transforming them into talismans for good luck.

These mementos may adorn our interiors, gardens, and bodies—or simply be kept and forgotten over time. The exhibited paintings and paper objects not only represent these items but also foster a positive emotional connection to the past, offering a way to share personal memories and feelings that, to some extent, resonate universally.
