Liquid realities is based on visual research that commenced with the Perspectives S cycle, which has been described as a dystopian yet humane presentation of forgotten city and human race, and scattered virtual memory... A cycle that began years ago seems to have anticipated the events we have witnessed over the recent couple of years: from the war in Ukraine, leaving behind charred remnants and ghost cities, to the effects of isolations during the Covid-19 pandemic, which have resulted in estrangement, in which real space, the possibility of moving, virtual reality and communication channels - all under one another's influence - opened gradually, melted, became deformed, bent, superposed, and created dystopian worlds, as if they stood under the influence of quantum gravitational knot, in which space-time forms a net. Though these created worlds are sad, sinister, dystopian, within their texture - like a time capsule - they store a non-lost emotion.
