Jean-Paul Sartre said, there was no one common nature to all humans. It is determined by the epoch, in which they live. Similarly with objects - people give things souls, "spiritualize" them, but they can also remove the spirituality from them, for example by changing their function or to whom they belong. In my work I try to spiritualize stones, and to give them some value. Most important for me is the relationship of stones with durability and ephemerality, with memory and forgetfulness, with giving them positive and very negative value, but above all with the perfection of their form. In my work I create a universe that is completely unknowable. The background is black and as in the universe I can not say whether it has boundaries and whether it is limited. The stones in my work are chunks of a larger whole and they are looking for boundries.
