Original artwork description:

"The bird found itself surrounded by luxurious buildings. It could barely remember that all it once wanted was a simple nest."

Almost by chance, I sometimes remember the joy I had as a child, making a little house with a blanket and some chairs, or with a few pieces of wood and branches under a tree. I try to capture that feeling, which was so great at that time, before it gets lost, once again, in my busy everyday life.

Part of the collection "The Poetics of Space"

I have always been interested in spaces in dreams (rooms, labyrinths, passages etc.) and my research lead me to Gaston Bachelard's "The poetics of Space". I found in that book many images, symbols and thoughts I had been using in my work and in my fantasies since I was a child. Shells, nests, connected rooms, caves and shelters are some of the spaces that inspire me.
