Inspired by construction remnants and the "beautiful mourning" for discarded objects, this work transforms used items into three-dimensional sculptures integrated with two-dimensional paper flowers, symbolizing death in a Vanitas context, yet ironically never withering.
Employing the Dépaysment technique, the objects are arranged against a refined background, freed from their everyday context to achieve aesthetic harmony. This "photographic ritual" immortalizes the objects' lost purpose, aiming to permanently preserve the value and beauty of obsolete things as art. The work explores the tension between opposing concepts: use and disuse, reality and representation, and illusion and manifestation.
