ARTIST STATEMENT
My work is rooted in the exploration of the relationship between life and artistic experience.
Through installations, sculpture, and drawing, I engage with seemingly common structures, systems and objects, subverting them—whether through humor, aesthetics, or function—to shift perceptions and, ultimately, expand our understanding of life itself.
This approach shape how I live, create, and interact with the world around me.
