Reverie Project
Reverie Project is a meditation on memory and transformation.
I collect forgotten black-and-white photographs, quiet moments once held in someone’s hands, now adrift in time. Each image carries traces of a life, a gesture, a light that once was. I study these fragments closely, not to restore them, but to listen to what remains unsaid.
Through the language of solid shapes and contrasting tones, I translate these memories into new forms, bold, minimal, and modern. Painted on wood or paper, the familiar becomes abstract, and the past takes on a new rhythm.
This process is an act of both remembrance and renewal. By stripping away the noise of detail, I search for the pulse of emotion that lingers beneath. The old photographs are not revived as they were, but reborn as they might be, echoes of another time, speaking softly in the visual language of today.
In Reverie, the past does not fade. It transforms, still dreaming, still alive.
I even built the frames myself, a continuation of the same impulse to give new life to what was once forgotten. It became a journey of creating everything by hand, from the idea to the final piece, each work a complete rebirth of an old photograph into a new moment of being.
