HADES is a series born from destruction — from the burning of an artwork, a sacrifice that did not signify an end but marked the beginning of a new perspective and philosophical dimension. The ashes of the original piece gave rise to new forms: at times photographic, at others material, revealing the notion that what is destroyed is not simply lost, but transformed — granted a new lifespan.
At the heart of the series lies the feminine nature and its enduring link to self-destruction and self-restraint — forces often imposed through deeply rooted domestic and societal structures. The woman, portrayed as both object and subject of social imperatives, experiences repression as a slow burn — a process that may either drain or regenerate her.
HADES is not merely a representation of decay. It is a declaration: even from the ashes, both matter and meaning can be reimagined. Psychological disorders, internalized oppression, and socially enforced compliance are not endpoints — they are the raw material for a new act of creation, a new state of being.
