Beauty is all around us, often concealed beneath the noise of the ordinary. It is up to us to look deeper, uncover the enchanting and appreciate its hidden wonders.

Hidden Beauty - About the Collection

Hidden Beauty explores the interplay between timeless elegance and the clutter of daily life. Each piece juxtaposes replicas of famous artworks with authentic waste collected on specific dates, forging a tangible connection between art, time and human neglect. The waste partially obscures the artwork, leaving only fragments of its beauty visible.

This waste symbolizes the fleeting nature of human existence, contrasting with the enduring and timeless essence of art. Despite being covered, the artwork beneath remains timeless, quietly asserting its permanence and resilience against the impermanence of human refuse.

This partial uncovering invites viewers to imagine the hidden splendor beneath the surface, symbolizing the importance of mindfulness in recognizing beauty amidst chaos.

Through this concept, Hidden Beauty challenges us to pause, observe and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us, even in the most unexpected places.
