Mirror monochromes are like a cloth that covers wounds.

I lay a thin mirror surface over the cracks of the earth — not to conceal, but to reveal. It smooths the fractures, calms the pain, yet at the same time opens a path to insight.

In these reflections our faces appear: the cracks are not abstraction, they are us. This art does not accuse, it only offers a mirror. A mirror that cuts like ice, because within it lies responsibility.

The earth is still alive, it reflects us. Every crack is a trace of our action, every shimmer a chance to see the truth. Through the mirror surface of my works, I try to inscribe us into the piece.
