In this painting, a monumental triceratops skull floats suspended inside a tunnel, defying both gravitational logic and linear temporality.

The fossil, a symbol of a remote and extinct past, is inserted into a contemporary urban infrastructure, generating a scene that oscillates between the scientific, the archaeological, and the fantastical. The work suggests a layering of temporalities in which natural history erupts into the present as a spectral apparition.
