Cosmotheoros — A Wunderkammer of Celestial Bodies 2020

Throughout history, humanity has charted the heavens through religion, occult practice, science, and astronomy—seeking to determine, classify, and capture the extraterrestrial. Cosmotheoros embodies this perpetual desire, bringing together observations, real events, and fantasies in a single constellation where different ways of knowing collide.

The materials carry this collision: clay as residue of everything that has lived—plants, animals, people returning to earth when life ends. Gold formed only through the death of neutron stars, created in nuclear reactions triggered by supernovae.

Two materials born at the final stage of a life cycle. One considered worthless, the other precious. Both residues of life, traces of what once was. In Cosmotheoros, they merge to tell a story written in matter itself, where endings become beginnings and dust transforms into light.

Our connection to the cosmos is not merely spiritual but physical: we are made of stardust. The installation merges the terrestrial and the celestial, reminding us that we are both of the earth and of the stars.
