REPRESS

At the core of the series are fragments of everyday reality stripped of context.
The title reflects the duality of the method: repression here is both the suppression of a recognizable image and the technical process of re-printing.

The key element of the series is a digital photograph transferred onto a lacquer film. It is repeatedly embedded into a dense acrylic structure. The layers overlap and shift, literally overriding the source image and creating unpredictable artifacts. The flat surface acquires physical relief.
In the end, a complex visual field is formed. The original information dissolves into the material, leaving only traces of its presence.
This is an exploration of the boundary between a recognizable image and its physical deconstruction.
