About

The fundamental preoccupation behind my work is the lack of empathy and indifference that pervade public life, leading to increasing violence and a state of numbed normalcy. It aims to awaken interest in urgent topics and shift preconceived associations by triggering connections with familiar domains of everyday life.

I find inspiration in ordinary objects and things while doing routine tasks. It’s the notion of simplicity that guides my process and vocabulary. I explore the physical qualities of materials and objects that surround my day-to-day life—recycled packaging, found objects, and conventional household items. Thinking conceptually through materiality, I allow their qualities and meanings to gradually reveal. I simplify, remove them from their original or assigned purpose, make subtle transformations—often limiting color to black and white—and recontextualize. I use repetition and combine materials with iconic imagery and symbols.
Determined organically during the creative process, the final works can incorporate photography, sculpture, drawing, performance, or video; regardless of the format, they share a common language that is simple, playful, crude but hopeful.

Inspiration often strikes outside the confines of my studio, seamlessly integrating with daily activities and moments. I aspire to challenge preconceptions, and foster connections between the familiar and the artistic. The intention is to create art that is not only relatable but also influential, instigating positive actions and inviting viewers to actively engage with the pressing issues of our time.
