This new phase of the "Transparencies" series, initiated in 2014, evolves from the architecture of power toward the dissection of its tools. Through oil-on-canvas paintings that mimic the physical depth and refraction of optical glass, I transform warfare machinery—stealth aircraft, tanks, and missiles—into intricate, transparent structures to lay bare the aesthetics of destruction. By exposing the internal mechanisms of weaponry through a classical medium historically linked to the glorification of war, I subvert its nature: what should be solid, opaque, and terrifying becomes ethereal and brittle. Here, camouflage no longer hides, but rather dissolves steel into the light itself, raising a visual paradox where weapons become dazzling jewels; a reminder of human vulnerability and a metaphor for how military power ultimately destroys the transparency of our own civilization.
