The Atopia series unfolds through a set of prints where figures appear less as representations of the past than as agents of thought. Borrowing from the aesthetics of tarot, comics, and allegorical imagery, these forms act like emblems of a world in formation.
Woodcut is redefined here as a medium carrying its historical and symbolic weight, as in old books and manuscripts, transforming each figure into an emblematic expression of a world in the making. Each figure does not define a specific person or role; it introduces an open code that invites the viewer to rethink concepts.
Atopia does not refer to a specific place, but to a state without certainties. In this unstable condition, the figures acquire the weight of carriers of questions: they hold traces of a world that may come into being, or that may have already existed in another version of reality.
As an artistic project, Atopia functions as an experimental system of thought. It explores how images can generate not only aesthetic experience, but also propositions for how we imagine ourselves, our social relationships, and our collective narratives in the future.
