Just as avatars in games allow players to experience different identities, these paintings (Entity) reflect the complex and often elusive aspects of existence, not only human, that are decomposed and recomposed into new forms. They reflect the tension between the physical and the digital, the real and the imaginary. In this context, the idea of alienation and transformation resonates, where the physical reality meets the digital world, leading to ambiguity and diversity of perspectives and interpretations of what it means to exist in a digitally connected world.

Podobně jako avatary v hrách umožňují hráčům prožít různé identity, tyto malby (Entity) reflektují komplexní a často neuchopitelné aspekty existence, nejen lidské, které jsou rozkládány a znovu skládány do nových podob. Odráží se v nich napětí mezi fyzickým a digitálním, reálným a imaginárním. V tomto kontextu rezonuje myšlenka odcizení a transformace, kde se fyzická realita setkává s digitálním světem, což vede k nejasnostem a rozmanitosti perspektiv a interpretací toho, co znamená existovat v digitálně propojeném světě.
