Senses
Inspired by how one perceives the environment with all the senses and compares and interprets it with antiquity. The works conceptually represent human organs of perception that, placed in various compositions, are reminiscent of ancient times.
Each individual's system of beliefs, thoughts, attitudes and experiences derives from perception. At the same time, the perception of ancient cultures gives us the possibility of numerous ideas and imaginations.
The ancient sculptures are the basis on which today's visual thinking and observation of modern civilisation has developed and finally prevailed.
