The art series delves into the theme of urban ruins, reimagined and reconnected through object-based paintings. It highlights the impact of rapid urban development on the transformation of cities and their architectural layers. The concept of a ruin is explored beyond its physical presence, embodying its entire history from construction to decay.

The artist’s work is deeply rooted in a personal investigation of materials commonly found on construction sites, such as cement, metal, sand, and pigments. These materials have been central to their practice, marking a shift from traditional painting to object-based art and sculpture.

Incorporating construction debris and materials into abstract paintings, the series also includes sculptural objects that evoke the structure of urban ruins. These works function as an archaeological site, projecting a catastrophic future while reflecting the lost worlds and their remnants. By layering different perspectives, the series mirrors the way cities are organized, offering viewers an experience of understanding these layered histories through the juxtaposition of organic textures and well-defined, glass-like surfaces.
