Chimera engages with the notion of mirage through a twofold perspective. On a material level, it offers a direct, tangible interpretation of illusion, employing fisheye mirrors as aesthetic modules that distort perception. On a sensory and conceptual level, it serves as a dialectical reflection on the fragmentation of physical and digital realities, exposing the delicate imbalance between control and security – two cornerstones that define modernity.

From a distance, the installation blends seamlessly with its surroundings, dissolving into space through a cascade of mirrored repetitions. Moving closer – the illusion unravels, revealing the framework that sustains it. In this encounter, the viewer meets their own reflection multiplied and displaced, a shifting constellation of selves that provokes an uneasy awareness of being observed. The viewing platform becomes a temporary sanctuary – a cocoon of quiet detachment – from which the gaze can wander freely into the open expanse beyond.
