The "Childhood Cabinet" (1993, taxidermied animals, polyurethane, lead, iron, 12 drawers, approx. 130 cm high) is an autobiographical archive of memories that transforms personal experiences and observations of nature into poetically condensed object boxes. Each drawer contains a relief composed of fragments of everyday objects, photographs, taxidermied animals, and symbolic materials.
This creates an interweaving of nature, childhood, and history, in which intimate memories are not expressed in words but rather sedimented in forms, surfaces, and materials. The morphological logic of the object transforms lived experiences into miniature stages of memory—between found object and relic, between private biography and universal symbolism. The cabinet is thus both a personal piece of memory furniture and an artistic monument that speaks of an intense affinity for nature and for things.
