Fibo Spinner (2025)
Stainless steal, metal, electric motor, powder coating
150 × 170 × 55 cm
In perpetual rotation, Fibo Spinner evokes the traces of a past movement, a circular apparatus bearing the imprint of an action now unseen. The circles within the rim evokes Duchamp’s Anémic Cinéma, where spinning disks dissolve the boundary between motion and image, and here, between mechanism and specter.
Hovering between utility and symbol, the work mirrors an endless circuit, yet no creature inhabits this loop. By displacing the human form into an algorithmic ideal, Fibo Spinner asks us to reconsider our measure of space, movement, and the very possibility of inhabiting a place. What remains is the quiet insistence of rotation, a gesture both mathematical and lyrical, that charts a route between the intellect’s abstraction and our innate sense of endless cycles.
Anesthetics, 2025
Chromed steel, scaffolds joints, acrylics, lacquer
80 × 80 × 190 cm
Modern design, like anesthesia, numbs sensation. In the aftermath of war, smooth glass panels and polished steel calmed frayed nerves, just as ether and cocaine dulled pain. Walter Benjamin described war’s survivors as mute (Experience and Poverty, 1933), unable to communicate their trauma—modernism mirrored this silence. Its surfaces resist touch, memory, and history, offering sterility over warmth. Like anesthesia, modern design soothes but erases, creating a world where nothing lingers, where experience slides away without leaving a trace.
Without Flinching, 2025
Brushed stainless steel, galvanized steel, concrete
80 × 60 × 220 cm
A meditation on endurance, defiance, and permanence, Without Flinching is a reflection engaging with the act of standing as both burden and bastion. It is the act of existing unshaken, of costing something, of measuring height, of enduring pain. The work interrogates this essence: to stand is to resist and to bear a cost, a duality woven into its very fabric.
