My installation explores the shifting boundaries between past technologies and imagined futures. I work with discarded car parts, objects designed for function and rework them through casting, photography, and projection. Removed from their original context, they become something else: part sci-fi relic, part architectural fragment. I use materials like plaster, clay, silicone, and reflective surfaces to play with transparency, weight, and illusion.

The space is immersive and atmospheric, with light, shadow, and layered reflections creating a sense of dislocation. Some casts look solid and heavy, others more fragile or organic, challenging assumptions about what they once were. Screens show abstracted images and video that blur the line between object and image.

I’m influenced by retro-futurism, science fiction, and post-industrial decay. By shifting scale and material, I want to reimagine industrial waste as something with narrative potential like ruins from a future that never arrived.
