TRANSCONSTRUCTIONS

[Overdrawn illustrations on magazine pages/posters/banners/canvas, various formats]

In these transconstructions, the smooth surface of print media becomes the stage for a radical metamorphosis. Magazines, advertising banners, or posters serve as starting points—symbols of a present honed to perfection, in which bodies often function as interchangeable products. Through massive gestural and impasto reworking, these visual facades are physically broken open. The manipulative smoothness is destroyed and transformed into an autonomous, raw pictorial space that gains a palpable, haptic density. It is an act of reclamation: where media structures degrade the individual to an object,
The overpainting acts as a stop signal. The original coding of the image templates is corrupted and reprogrammed. This process involves a consistent deconstruction of gender norms and traditional role models. The drawing removes the body from the judgmental gaze and restores its independence.

At the center is the line as the vehicle of movement, obliteration, and transformation. In a physical cycle of concealment and revelation, beings emerge in dissolving states, defying clear categorization. In this process, decay and failure are not deficiencies, but necessary ruptures—the birth of a new, powerful subject. Present figures emerge that exist beyond the obsession with optimization and the constraints of mere commodification.
