Besties emerges as a playful and reflective exploration of our relationship with image, object, and contemporary technology. Through a series of twelve compositions in a bestiary format, I recreate a personal mythological imagination where each creature exists between color, material, and sound.

Each piece—folded acrylic layers over reflective resin surfaces—reveals its visible seams, screws, and joints as traces of assembly, evoking the handmade creation of an imaginary being, halfway between myth and experiment. This hybrid aesthetic between the beautiful and the imperfect, the natural and the assembled, reflects the idea of the beast as a mirror of our own human condition.

Every composition is accompanied by a sound rather than a title—transforming naming into a sensory act. The spectator no longer “reads” the work but “listens” to it. This gesture turns the experience into an instinctive encounter, inviting us to reconnect with our primal selves.

Besties also offers a commentary on the emotional distance imposed by technology. We now view art through a screen—touching with our eyes, hearing through a device—yet within that same technological gesture lies an opportunity for return: a re-connection with the visceral, the tactile, and the imperfectly human.
