2010 - ongoing
ÉphéMER is a project begun in 2010.
Presently it comprises around 40 works in various formats;
from postcard-sized pieces to large-scale watercolors measuring up to 107 × 95 cm.
The sea has always fascinated me through its profound contradiction: an endless and seemingly quiet surface that is, at the same time, in constant movement. No wave is ever the same. Everything emerges, disappears, transforms, and returns again — fleeting and transient, yet part of an immensity beyond human comprehension.
The sea echoes the profound duality of the human condition: the fragility and temporality of the bodily experience alongside a deep longing for something eternal. It mirrors the constant inner tensions we carry within us — closeness and distance, loss and renewal, pain and pleasure, life and death. Each edge having meaning only through the presence of the other: intertwined, inseparable, yet engaged in an constant dance.
Life's a constant catharsis
A thousand deaths and rebirths
Perpetuum mobile of dissolving and becoming
