Events and exhibitions: Light/Remorse

This piece reinterprets the mannerist painting 'The Tears of Saint Peter' through glitch and scan processes . The image of the apostle—traditionally associated with repentance, grief, and spiritual revelation—is fragmented, distorted, and reassembled through digital interference and repeated acts of scanning.

The title brings together two central forces within the work: light as a symbol of illumination, faith, and revelation; and remorse as the emotional weight of Peter's denial. Rather than preserving the original painting's devotional clarity, the intervention subjects it to erosion and instability, transforming sacred imagery into a field of visual noise where revelation and deterioration coexist.
