ARTWORK STATEMENT:

In Chronos, day follows night in an endless repetition, creating an accelerated timeless cycle of a natural landscape. A stationary walking figure perpetually roams the desert dunes. The spectator’s experience takes place behind a window frame, intended to shed light on the subjective nature of the elusive concept of time and suggesting that time and space are intrinsic categories of the mind and relative to the observer’s point of view.
