Phantom

Phantom started as a series of drawings — quick, instinctive, almost like shapes appearing before I could fully understand them. A playfulness of emotion.

They were never meant to feel fixed. They always had this strange quality of something passing through: colour, memory, movement, a feeling that arrives and disappears before you can name it.

At first, they existed as flat works. Later, I started imagining them as glass.

Not framed.
Not still.
Not completely there.

Each shape becomes a separate glass panel. Each colour hangs slightly apart from the next one. The drawing is still there, but now it lives in the air — suspended, transparent, changing with the light, casting shadows on the wall and floor.

I like that they feel fragile but bold at the same time. Playful, but also a little haunted.

For me, Phantom is about presence and absence. About trying to hold something that is already disappearing.

A drawing that became light.
A shape that became a shadow.
A memory hanging in the space.

PHANTOM is currently an AI-assisted visualisation of a glass installation concept, 2026, and is not yet a realised physical installation. I’m open to developing it further with a glass artist, artisan studio, specialist glass fabricator, interior designer, gallery, cultural partner or brand collaboration.

I imagine Phantom either as a larger suspended art piece, or as a smaller collectible version made accessible through selected boutique stores. I could also see it as a limited-edition collaboration with a design or interiors brand.

Phantom is about the freedom of imagination — the moment where a drawing leaves the page and becomes something you can almost walk through.
