One of the most important laws governing natural systems is The Second Law of Thermodynamics - Entropy. According to the Law of Entropy, any isolated, or closed physical system will proceed spontaneously in the direction of ever increasing disorder, or chaos. However, complex systems at the edge of chaos have the ability to self-organise themselves into a higher order; in other words the system evolves spontaneously into a new mode of existence.
The focus of my work is the exploration of the concept of Entropy and ways of representing the balancing point, as one of the most characteristic features of our time.
My aim is to reveal a sense of uncertainty, endurance and anticipation, the possibility of falling into chaos, and at the same time a way of avoiding it.
I like etching technique because it mirrors life's essence - a transformation through both addition and subtraction, creation and destruction. It's a process where meaning emerges from the deliberate act of physically altering and, in some sense, damaging the metal plate by using acids and resists to selectively remove parts of its surface.
Through this intentional destruction, textures are etched into the metal and a new visual narrative takes shape transforming a blank surface into a bearer of new images.
It's a process where destruction isn’t an end but a means to unveil new meanings.
The etching process finds its ultimate expression in the print transferred onto paper. Each impression taken from the etched plate captures a moment - a frozen dialogue between the artist's intentions and the unpredictable nature of the medium.
