“World 2020” is a collection of works created during 2020, with some completed in 2021, shaped by a time of global uncertainty and transformation. The selection brings together individual pieces reflecting on impactful world events, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a visual language that, in some works, leans into the surreal, the pieces invite introspection and reveal fragility, reflecting a moment when humanity found itself at the edge—suspended between vulnerability and resilience.
