Phantasmata consists of three metal sculptures with faceted surfaces and a textured satin-black finish. Their irregular geometry, inspired by stealth technology, makes them appear to evade the gaze—blurring their contours as they interact with light and their surroundings.
The title, taken from Greek, refers to the mental images that arise after perception — the traces that linger in memory. In Aristotelian thought, phantasmata mark the threshold between the sensory and the intelligible. Today, this concept resonates anew in a world where reality is constantly filtered, manipulated, and distorted. Like those mental residues, the sculptures are present yet elusive—tangible, yet cryptic.
The stealth design, associated with military technology and strategies of concealment, also evokes a reflection on our contemporary condition: mass surveillance, latent conflicts, and invisible threats that rarely reveal themselves fully. The pieces seem to camouflage within their environment, as if trying to escape both the viewer’s gaze and the symbolic radar of our collective consciousness.
Rather than offering a fixed form, Phantasmata invites an experience. As viewers move around the sculptures, they navigate what is hidden and intangible—what resists a single angle of interpretation. The work invites a pause for reflection: What do we truly see today? And how much of what we think we perceive is merely a projection, a shadow, a mental echo?
