 Recordings is a collection series of experiences with different men who have passed through my life sporadically. During this process, I collect the peak moment of joy, the ecstasy of orgasm, on a light-sensitive sheet of paper, which is later revealed and recorded.

This striking artwork prominently features an elongated, twisted form suspended against a bold rust-red backdrop, capturing immediate attention with its fluid complexity. The translucent, ribbon-like structure exudes a soft luminescence, contrasting dynamically with the deep, warm background. Intricate patterns resembling delicate bubbles or cellular formations intricately adorn its surface, suggesting both biological and ethereal properties. The seeming motion of the twisting form evokes a sense of graceful movement, as if the entity is slowly unraveling or ascending. The play of light and shadow across its surface adds depth and intrigue, further enhancing its ethereal quality. This piece uniquely combines simplicity with intricate detailing, evoking a sense of curiosity and contemplation. The artwork’s minimalistic style, paired with its rich textural elements, creates a visually captivating experience that engages viewers and invites them to explore the tension between the tangible and the abstract.
