Contact
Cavents’ work revolves around themes of transformation, perception, and the potential hidden within the everyday. Through analog photography, installation, and sculpture, he delves into the interplay between the familiar and the overlooked, uncovering hidden narratives within spaces, objects, and materials. His practice is driven by a fascination with how we perceive and assign meaning to the world around us, often incorporating alternative techniques and discarded materials to challenge traditional boundaries and inspire new perspectives.
