Pepetto’s work operates at the intersection of the mundane and the macabre, utilizing a stripped-down aesthetic to highlight a specimen found in the depths of culinary practice. The use of collage and glitch techniques disrupts the traditional portrait format, suggesting a breakdown between the physical object and its digital or supernatural echo. Within the classic frame, the subject feels both preserved and decaying, a nod to the passage of time and the instability of form.

The imagery leans into a retrofuturism horror mystery, where controlled hand gestures and butterfly motifs suggest a delicate yet unsettling shift in reality. By fusing gothic influences with an illustrative style, Pepetto explores the blurring boundaries between the human and the machine. It is a study of a rare discovery, inviting a look at the symbolic meanings hidden within the textures of the everyday.
