He/Him - Why did you create this work?
The concept behind Chamber of Absorption—the lead image—was to convey my reflection on the relentless routinization of life, illustrating how effortlessly one can become deconstructed by it.
The second image was inspired by a trip to New York. I sought to depict it as a concrete, buzzing structure—blending anthropomorphic and inanimate elements in the spirit of classic surrealist practices. - How were your illustrations used?
All of the images presented are personal projects that reflect my passion for artistic expression, the development of my unique visual language, and the enhancement of my illustration portfolio. Currently, I am dedicated to building my personal brand, and these works serve as an integral part of that journey.
