This series began with the human and animal skeleton as both structure and symbol — a map of mortality, memory, and the raw architecture beneath form. What began as observation evolved into disruption: gestures fragment, dissolve, and reform, transforming the skull into a living field of energy. These works sit at the edge of representation, where death and vitality coexist in a single trembling surface.

“Disruption is not destruction — it’s transformation.”

“These bones are maps of energy, not death.”

“Ruins, for me, are the beginning. With the debris, you can construct new ideas.”

Anselm Kiefer
“To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature.”
