透過大規模再現琺瑯陶瓷碎片這樣的藝術手段，它們從不可抵擋的時間流中流逝，這些流動的改變都逐漸地被新的取代，甚至是來源不明的成分。在與古老琺瑯陶瓷不同和不相等的部份中，藝術家看到了歷史意義、自身與公眾歷史意義的可能性。
鑑於此，被放大的圖像迫使我們將他人遺棄的物件以一種新的形式去看待。如此，物件重新被喚起並得到前所未有的外觀價值。很快地，歷史的痕跡取代了美學，這所有的一切都在觀者心中找到了一條心靈小徑，透過記憶賦予它現在的意義。
The artworks reproduce fragments of majolica on a larger scale. By the means of this artistic gesture, they are subtracted from the unstoppable flow of time that modifies, alters, and inexorably replaces them with new and perhaps increasingly anonymous elements. Within the dissimilar and unequal pieces of this ancient majolica, the artist sees the possibility of a meaning, the meaning of a story, of one’s own and everyone’s history.
In the light of this, the enlarged image forces us to look in a new form to a lost object, that was picked up where someone else already left it to scrap. This way, the object acquires the values of an unprecedented look, of an image that is re-evoked and re-proposed. Soon the traces of the history replace the aesthetic enjoyment, and all this finds a place in the mind of the viewer in a mental path that, through memory, gives meaning to the present
