I experiment with photographs of black ink drops sliding through water against a red background, where fascination awakens at the hypnotic shapes and movements that emerge. The absorbing task of capturing these figures in the water immerses me in a parallel present, disconnecting me from reality and plunging me into an enveloping study of the beauty of shapes and movement.

Suddently, a song by Ryuichi Sakamoto slips into the atmosphere, with its introspective and meditative sound, breaking in with four notes that resonate like heartbeats—a metaphor for existence itself—inviting me on an emotional journey to the essence of my own life.

Each note seems like a heartbeat propelling the ink as if it were blood flowing through veins, pumped by the beats of the heart.

The phrases recited in the song from Arseny Tarkovsky's poem emerge with special relevance, evoking the idea of eternity and immortality. In my mind, certain lines of the poem appear like neon flashes, transporting me to a single word: ETERNITY.

This fusion of images, sounds, and words offers me three interpretations of life and eternity.

LIFE LIFE presents itself as a three-dimensional creative experiment, where images, sounds, and words intertwine to give them visibility through the prism of chance, deconstructing and subsequently reconstructing both the poem and the song to offer me a broader and more personal vision.
