Placebo
In Placebo I look at the relationship between nature and aesthetics, and the way human society creates new perceptions of what is natural and what is artificial.

Studies of Tension
Studies of Tension is an observation of tension in human beings and animals. Tension is a state of mind and a natural ocurrence.

In a way the work plays with the model of classical portrait and the way we expect a portrait to communicate positivity and beauty.
