The "Embraced in Frame" series consists of wall pieces that deal with relationships. The relationships are expressed metaphorically as the relation between the useful vessel and the one who uses it. The rules are redefined, while the hard, cold body of the vessels is squashed and pinched by the hands holding it, as if it were a body made of flesh. The hands hold the vessels as if they were theatre hand puppets, creating a game of interactions and relationships between them.
In the "Intimate Series," piles of dishes create “doubtfully alive” creatures engaged in intimate and sexual interactions. Repressed sexuality, although appearing in a direct and blunt way, is not immediately visible at first glance.
