"Kunert meticulously designs the lighting, furniture, wall coverings, and outdoor settings to give the impression of a reality turned sideways-sometimes literally, playing with architecture and our associations."
"Currently working on a series titled Dreams Come True, Kunert's models challenge our sense of scale and material, offering a playful yet unsettling glimpse into the absurdities of everyday life."
