Breathing in the Shallows features a body of works oscillating around the subject of transformation and the possible afterlife of matter. Reflecting on how the future is continually reconstructed from former events, the objects draw inspiration from past aesthetics or forgotten motifs that return like ghosts - commonly thought to be outdated or lost.

The mixing of times and motifs is evident in the recurring ornamental details that come from different epochs. These elements point to the hybrid nature of history and represent an attempt to tame the change as an inevitable part of reality.
