Anatomija praznine tematizira dihotonično zaznavanje sveta in okolja, tako na interpretativni, vsebinski ravni, kot tudi v estetskem smislu.

Forme nakazujejo variacije razpadajoče telesnine, namigujejo na okostenele ostanke ali morda kamnite fosile anonimnih bitij. Znotraj del zeva globel praznine, ki jo mrežaste strukture poskušajo zajeziti. Prostor, tako znotraj, kot izven del poudarja občutja ujetosti in svobode, razkroja in rasti, konstrukcije in destrukcije. Ujet je trenutek izmikajoče se praznine, ki zrcali skrhane odnose in posameznika v svetu. Forme objektov so podrejene praznini – ta diktira formo materije in jo podreja svojim potrebam. Ukrivlja, perforira, deformira in reže v formo, s čimer zavzame sebi pripadajoč prostor.

Anatomija praznine je namensko, mentalno formiranje te praznine, poskus ujeti njeno bit, dajanje formi nekaj, česar ni, kar je odsotno.

Anatomy of a Void is a dichotomous perception of the environment and surroundings, on the interpretative as well as the aesthetic level.

The forms indicate variations of decaying objects, evoking a sense of skeletal remains or stone like  fossils of anonymous beings. There is an emptiness inside the objects which is impounded by web-like structures. The space within and around the sculpture’s form emphasizes a sense of freedom and captivity, growth and decay, and construction and deconstruction. In this captured moment of evasive emptiness, we see reflections of fragility in relationships, echoing the unravelling of an individual. The object's form subordinates to emptiness, which dictates the material's form and shifts  to it's needs. It bends, perforates, deforms and cuts into its own flesh of the form, asserting a space of it's own.

Anatomy of a Void is a purposeful carving of emptyness, an attempt to seize it's quintessence, giving form to something absent and distant.
