The Ruins reflects the erosion of memory through damaged and obscured photographic fragments. Structured like a collapsing archive, the work suggests traces of experiences that persist despite deterioration, where absence becomes as significant as what remains visible.
 
Noesis explores memory, cognition, and problem-solving in the absence of full mental imagery. While recalled photographs often leave behind discrete objects rather than visual scenes, narrative remains essential and is constructed through logic, association, and personal formulas. Using puzzles, cubes, grids, and modular systems, the works consider memory as something assembled or intuitively known rather than visually recalled.
