Collection: Time Series
The Time Series emerged from the sense of dislocation and fragmentation I experienced during the early days of the Covid-19 lockdown. Separated from my paintings and usual workspace, I adapted by turning my home into a makeshift studio. This abrupt shift in routine led me to reflect on themes of time, memory, and spatial disconnection.
During this period, I was reading about different perspectives on time, including Carlo Rovelli’s reflections on why we remember the past and not the future. His ideas resonated with me, prompting a deeper exploration of how our perception of space and isolation shapes our understanding of the present moment.
Each piece in the Time Series examines a different aspect of this inquiry. Private Spaces reflects the intimacy of solitude, while Less Real From Inside captures the distortion of memory and interiority. The Order of Space and Calçadinha do Tijolo II consider architectural structures as both physical and psychological spaces, revealing the tension between absence and presence. Wood on Wood plays with materiality, suggesting the layering of time within objects themselves.
Through this series, I aim to visualize the intangible—how time folds upon itself, how space holds memory, and how isolation alters perception. What began as a response to an unprecedented moment has since evolved into an ongoing exploration of our place within time’s fluid structure.
