Situated between consciousness and dream, the scenes of petrified marginal spaces are colonized by concrete architectural fabrications of a contemporary world. Uninhabited ruins that bear silent witness to our failures and repressed memories. An image of the future, not the past, the walls question their destiny. They are monuments to the repeated loss of self, of memory and oblivion and can be read as a sublime force in themselves.
