Mankind itself is a book of life and death, of countless regenerations. A library filled with experiences of existence, its pages are written in blood and tears, portals toward worlds imagined and unimaginable; signifiers of the past, oracles of the future, wise sages of the present.

Semper alters the structures of some reminiscent of Anselm Kiefer, providing a commentary on their social legacy, but more importantly a reflection on their emancipatory potential, in a set of four book sculptures titled after the alchemical transformation stages of matter as earth, water, air, and fire: Nigredo, Citrinitas, Albedo, and Rubedo.
