HERO BY CHANCE
2026 – ongoing
In this series, I explore the human presence within the urban environment. I am fascinated by the dialogue between spaces that seem to exist outside of time and the details of our everyday life.
A chance figure here serves as a symbol of anonymity — a living story unfolding within the settings of a frozen city. These “heroes by chance” momentarily become the center of the composition, imbuing the forms with meaning and scale. It is an opportunity to capture a cinematic moment of beauty and solitude, transforming the mundane into the meaningful.

HERO BY CHANCE
The figure of a courier, accidentally caught in a bright city light, became the starting point for the whole series. I was interested in the feeling of a brief human presence in a space that usually goes unnoticed — a short pause between movement, work, and disappearing from view.
In this work, the hero is not heroic in the usual sense. His presence is temporary and accidental, but the light, the scale of the empty space, and the evening atmosphere make the moment feel important. The city appears both open and distant — like a stage where every person briefly becomes the main character of their own story.

ELSEWHERE
In Elsewhere, I explored the contrast between the scale of the surrounding world and the way attention can become trapped inside a small glowing screen. The huge ficus tree becomes the main character of the scene, while the human figure appears almost invisible beneath it.
Despite the dramatic sunset and the presence of the city around, all attention is focused on the cold blue light of the phone — as if the person is physically present, but mentally somewhere else.
The work combines observation and imagination rather than documenting a real moment. The title Elsewhere refers to this feeling of emotional distance and mental absence

LAST EVENING OF FALLAS
This work came from observing the city after the Fallas festival, when the noise and energy slowly disappear, leaving the streets quiet and almost empty. The bright yellow facade still holds traces of warmth and celebration, but the atmosphere already feels fragile and exhausted.
The shadow of an elderly couple became an important part of the scene, making me think about time, memory, and the temporary nature of shared moments.
As in the other works of the series, light is used not only as a realistic element, but as a way to express mood and emotional space.
