I am aware of visual poetry and flaws in perceptional understanding. The work usually manifests as a parody of an ordinary scenario. It singles out the essence from the prose of mundane which can be neither truly remembered nor forgotten.

By shifting points of view and the double meaning of words, the work aims to envelope viewer within the ‘eureka’ moment. Through a complete experience the audience can reinspect what we look but do not see in everyday life.
