This fine art photography series of famous screws was born from a question…

What do we truly remember about history’s greatest paintings? Do we remember the people who inhabit them, their faces, their gestures? Or do we remember the environment, the light, the composition, and the atmosphere that the painter so carefully crafted? Are human figures indispensable, or do they simply occupy a space that could belong to anything else?

To answer these questions—or perhaps to formulate them more clearly—I decided to conduct an experiment: to take some of the most recognizable paintings in the history of art and replace their human figures with screws. Industrial, anonymous objects, without face or expression. The result is a visual game that invites us to discover whether the essence of a masterpiece resides in its protagonists or in the atmosphere that surrounds it.
