CONCEPTUAL SCULPTURE / SERIES N°0
WAR IS
NOT A GAME
The art of disarming. Not only weapons… but fear, hatred, and division as well.
SCROLL
01 — INHERITANCE
Some people inherit photographs.
Others inherit silence.
Long after the gunfire stops, wars continue to exist in memories, in fears, in habits, and in the quiet stories that are never fully told. Many children and grandchildren grow up sensing that something happened, even when no one can find the words to explain it.
A parent who never speaks about captivity.
A grandparent who still stockpiles food decades after peace has returned.
A family that instinctively fears the sound of sirens.
A generation carrying emotions that were never theirs to begin with.
Violence rarely ends when a treaty is signed. It echoes through families and communities, shaping lives in ways that often remain invisible.

DISARMED
N°0
Each sculpture begins with an object designed to intimidate, control, or destroy. It is permanently stripped of its original purpose, transformed, and preserved inside transparent glass. Unable to harm again, it becomes something entirely different: a conversation.

04 — THE QUESTION
What if the strongest response to violence is not more violence, but the courage to transform it into hope?
A weapon can become a reminder.
A symbol of fear can become a symbol of hope.
An instrument of violence can become an invitation to empathy.
