Catamaran for the Dead. Wallpaper, print. Size varies
If you put a dead person on a catamaran, fixing his feet to the pedals, and, having installed a motor that will rotate the pedals, launch it to swim in the sea, then the observer on the shore will be completely confident that the person riding the catamaran is alive.

The PENA
Anonymous virtual space, an endless labyrinth with works by various authors, 2021-2022.
Pena is built as a virtual network of interconnected "bubbles" where you can embed your artwork or add panorama bubbles of real and unreal places. Artists in a common workspace create worlds in which art merges with its external environment, and anonymity allows you to try on various subjectivities, including multiple ones.

The theme: In this collection, "The Pain of Others," we embark on a profound journey, delving into diverse perspectives and artistic expressions that reveal the complex relationship between art and our response to the aftermath of conflict. Beyond their visual allure, the artworks within these pages serve as powerful messengers, delivering urgent calls for systemic reform, the preservation of connections in conflict-affected communities, and a collective appeal for humanity in the face of unspeakable atrocities.
Faith and resilience are crucial during times of crisis, and the power of creative voices can drive change. Through art, spirituality, and community, this exhibition highlights the potential for change through invigorating artistic voices.
Influenced by Susan Sontag's work, we emphasize the significance of art representation and authentic engagement as essential tools for processing the complexities of warfare. We firmly believe, echoing Sontag's insights, that art carries a duty to effectively understand and communicate the pressing need to safeguard our global community. This collection encourages reflection on the profound impact of conflict on our shared humanity.

Some photos of the exhibition
This piece challenges conventional narratives through its synthetic bureaucratic horror project, offering a virtual exploration of existential dimensions often overlooked in discussions about war, power, and miracles. By intertwining poetic texts with visual elements, they disrupts the linearity of time, allowing for illogical transactions at various points. Solza's unique approach combines corporeal and metaphorical situations, as seen in their engagement with propaganda stories that intertwine with the symbolic destruction of influential apparatuses.
