This work is part of the Fever Dream series, a group of paintings that adopts the visual language of photography to construct scenes in which space, scale, and the origin of images collide, producing situations that are improbable yet internally coherent.

In this piece, a brutalist London architecture becomes the setting for an impossible encounter: the disproportionately monumental head of Yoda gazes upon the decapitated body of a Parthenon sculpture taken from the British Museum’s collection. The scene activates a dialogue between classical ruin, popular culture, and fiction, suggesting a distorted reading of historical legacy through the lens of contemporary imagination.
