Memory transforms us, transforming pain into abstraction. And within this abstraction, we can see not only what was, but also what could be.

The idea for this series emerged while listening to David Guetta and Hypaton’s 2025 remix, Together, of Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart.This version resonated more deeply with my present understanding of love than the original. It speaks to the love I feel for the family I have chosen and built, rather than the one into which I was born. Today, my home is wherever my family is: my wife and my dog.I created this series of collages during an emotionally difficult period marked by injustice, anxiety, and constant tension. Throughout that time, my family was always by my side, especially my wife.This series is dedicated to her. It reflects on the sense of belonging, the idea of home, and the attempt to hold on to love when the world becomes too heavy and complex. Through these images, I continue, in my own way, the song’s refrain:
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right'
Cause we'll never be wrong
Together



CONVERSATION WITH PAST

My mother died 21 years ago, and my father 15 years ago. Yet I still speak to them often in my mind.
Sometimes it feels almost like a real conversation, as though I were speaking to them in person. I tell them about my life, explain things, complain, share my thoughts, and hope they would be proud of me. In these imagined conversations, I return to the state of a small child who feared nothing because they were always there to protect me.
Through these conversations, I allow myself to be close to them once again, returning to a state of trust and safety that once felt entirely natural.
