Developed for @presentspacemag (Print Five), the project “Early Inventions and Technology” stages duos of past and present to reflect on how the same invention shifts across time. Through pared-back compositions by photographer @alexcascallana, with set design by Aina Reig @bambi33__ and creative direction by me. Objects are reframed into symbolic counterparts — from the earliest stone wheel to its contemporary engineered version. The result is a series that makes visible both continuity and disruption, revealing how technological advances remain anchored in their original logic while opening new possibilities for movement and design.
