The works in the Patents series are drawings based on actual kinetic objects. By returning the objects to the medium of drawing, a second layer emerges: not as technical documentation, but as a poetic transformation.
The drawings adopt the language of technical drawings while simultaneously subverting it—apparatuses become hybrid beings of human, animal, and machine. Thus, they oscillate between precision and imagination, between engineering and the dream of flight.
Patents is therefore less a manual of functional mechanics and more an atlas of imagination in motion.
