Conceptual series

2020 — 2025

We live in a state of digital displacement — everywhere and nowhere, all at once. Our presence flickers across screens, yet our bodies remain still. MESSAGE 2.0 explores the dissonance of existence in a hyperconnected world, where presence is constant, but meaning is elusive. Through minimalist forms, stark typography, and spatial ambiguity, the series reflects the emotional residue of digital life, alienation, erasure, and the quiet ache of dislocation. Each artwork is a fragment of a larger, unspoken dialogue. The more connected we become, the less rooted we feel. In virtual spaces, we speak without voices, appear without form, and vanish without a trace. The series MESSAGE 2.0 holds the ache of not belonging, the confessions typed but never sent, the messages that dissolve into silence. Loneliness here is not loud; it hums beneath the surface of every pixel. Language, once a vessel of meaning, now drifts in a sea of scrolls. Words are fragile. They blur, they glitch, they disappear. What remains is the tension between what is said and what is lost, the poetry of erasure.

Each artwork is a fragment of a larger, unspoken dialogue: UNPLACED —a single word suspended in a void. It evokes the sensation of being everywhere and nowhere, an identity without coordinates. I FEEL I DON’T BELONG QUITE WHEREVER I AM is a confessional echo. This piece captures the emotional drift of contemporary existence, where belonging is perpetually deferred. POINT DE NON-RETOUR points to the threshold moment. It suggests irreversible transformation — perhaps the loss of analog intimacy, or the crossing into a digital self. TEMPS MORT is a pause in time. This work reflects the stillness between notifications, the emptiness behind constant motion. QUAND LES MOTS S’EFFACENT… is a poetic language dissolving in lament for the erosion of meaning in a world of endless scrolling and fleeting messages. The series invites viewers to confront their own digital condition — not through spectacle, but through quiet confrontation. It’s not just about what is said, but what is left unsaid. The white space, the blur, the fade —all become metaphors for the emotional and existential gaps we navigate daily.
