In 2016 I discovered digital collage. Since I’ve always loved cinema, I made a series about obsessive female film characters, and it’s still the work that gets the most attention from both clients and social media.

Then I moved into advertising. There was no time for little pleasures like collage, but I learned realistic photomontage, which was in demand there. The second poster, made in 2020, shows how much my skills changed.

Still, when I show people both, they tend to prefer the older piece, even though it’s less polished technically.

Why do we connect more with imperfect work? And which one speaks to you more?
