Lost In Translation
'Lost in Translation' is a two-piece sculptural work created in Barcelona, inspired by the nuances of human communication and the visual structure of the Latin alphabet. Language is both a tool and a framework, we use it to express ourselves, but it also shapes how we perceive the world. This series explores the tension between expression and interpretation, and the space where meaning can slip, shift, or dissolve.
The abstract forms in each sculpture are rooted in letterforms from the Latin alphabet. Familiar symbols of writing, speaking, and understanding. By deconstructing and reassembling these symbols, the work invites viewers to search for recognition: a curve that suggests a vowel, a line that echoes a consonant. Yet just as language differs across cultures, so too does interpretation. What one viewer sees may feel entirely foreign to another. The original forms are stretched, merged, and obscured, reflecting how meaning can be altered or lost as it moves between people, cultures, and contexts.
'Lost in Translation' speaks to the challenges of making oneself understood, and the delicate interplay between identity, expression, and reception. It is a meditation on the limits of language, and the potential of art to carry what words sometimes cannot.
