Europa is an art installation featuring a carved relief on black steel, measuring 107 × 60 cm and weighing 25.8 kg. The relief is created through freehand engraving using a combination of diamond grinding discs and other handcrafted metalworking tools, including chisels, brushes, and drills. The surface was treated with various acids to create a rust patina, creating a contrast between the polished and corroded areas of the steel. Visually, the textured surface is a sculptural interpretation of Europa—the icy moon of Jupiter—whose fragmented crust of deadly frozen water is believed to conceal a vast subsurface ocean, possibly containing more liquid water than Earth itself.

An experimental video is projected onto the carved steel surface, featuring natural and abstract imagery, alternating with periods of time for viewing without projection. Acting performances recorded on a theater stage interact with the visual patterns on the relief. The dynamic interplay between the shifting film projections and the textured surface creates new light-reflecting effects that change with the viewer's perspective. The installation is designed to evoke a sense of disorientation and instability through these visual contrasts and kinetic effects.

The art installation reinterprets the myth of the Abduction of Persephone through the intersection of sculpture and filmic performance, exploring themes of environmentalism in relation to authoritarianism in contemporary society. Subtitles beneath the relief present a play whose purpose is to poetically deconstruct authoritarian character traits. As with the moon Europa, what lies beneath the surface may be more powerful than what is visible. The work, accordingly, raises important questions about the ease with which our judgment, mental well-being, and freedom can be held captive in a world increasingly shaped by destructive, narcissistic behaviors. It asks: Will our spring return, or will it remain held captive? How vulnerable are we and our environment to the authoritarian personality, a character defined by rigid thinking, intolerance, and domination?
