About

FRAGMENT is an artistic practice working with historical images and objects through contemporary production technologies.

I work with paintings, decorative objects and visual codes associated with beauty, luxury and cultural memory. I select fragments from these sources and reconstruct them through 3D modelling, computer vision, algorithmic processing and digital fabrication.

The fragment is not necessarily accidental or incomplete. I am interested in selection: isolating a particular face, gesture, ornament or form and deciding what deserves to be carried forward.

Translation between image and object is never neutral. Color can disappear. Detail becomes geometry. A painted surface becomes depth, light and shadow. Some information survives the process; some has to be removed, exaggerated or rebuilt. Increasingly, my work is concerned not only with choosing the source, but with controlling this transformation.

My engineering background is part of how I work rather than a subject I illustrate. I design production systems, develop tools and solve technical problems when existing methods cannot produce the result I am looking for. Digital fabrication is not a reference to technology; it is simply how the objects come into existence.

FRAGMENT sits somewhere between image and object, historical reproduction and new construction. I am interested in what happens when forms once associated with craftsmanship, decoration and luxury are rebuilt through contemporary tools and materials—and what remains desirable after the translation.
