• Nada
Postcards and an engraved polished black granite tablet, kept in its original packaging, 2025, a tribute to Goya’s famous etching of the Disasters of War.
The work has been shown at the exhibition Postcards and Mail Art, at the art space Immanence, Paris, in November-December 2025.
This work could very well represent “the artist’s final piece”.

• Fatal Error
A computer screen capture with a “fatal error” message engraved on a black polished granite plaque: The unfathomable mystery of life and death finds its reflection in the code of computer programming.
