Mashup Explosivity

 

In this series of collages, I identify with the studious practice of archival research in the military and historic fields, and I paint using details of found photos, accentuating the texture and recomposing new artworks using these memorable images. I am also interested in the fact that a lot of the imagery of tragic events is hidden out by traumatized viewers, only to be rediscovered by later generations.

​

In this collages, drawings of light and matter explosions, in gigantic fireworks, against an immutable and dark charcoal sky, producing a dazzling sight of transformable tragedy. I am interested in that moment when a human caused catastrophe induces a captivating sight, reminding us of the allegory of the cave by Plato. These artworks serve as a representation of the suddenness of these tragedies.
