Wonders of the Ordinary: Notes for a Contemporary Wunderkammern

What could a ceramic work, a painted image, and an everyday object possibly have in common? In this exhibition, they coexist within a contemporary "Cabinet of Wonders," inspired by the Wunderkammern of pre-modern Europe, where art, science, and nature engaged in dialogue. Works from different series come together to form a personal, imaginary world, in which objects and images are unexpectedly linked and tell both small and grand stories. Childhood memories, play, heroes, and symbols of popular culture reappear in transformed ways, suggesting the fragile and temporally bound representation of innocence.

Clay, as an earthy material imbued with temporality, makes visible the time of handcrafted, slow practice, preserving cracks, imperfections, and fingerprints as acts of creative resistance (craftivism) within contemporary globalized visual culture. Biomorphic forms in transitional states float between plant, animal, and human, while techniques such as monotype and photolithography on clay transform everyday forms into contemporary "archaeological finds."

With humor, irony, and poetry, visitors are invited to wander through a space where nothing is exactly as it seems — a contemporary Cabinet of Wonders that does not seek answers but invites discovery.
