Artist Statement:
My work emerges in response — to a place, an event, a community. For me, art is a form of reciprocity: the world acts, I respond — and within that response, new perspectives on what already exists come to light.
Humor and poetry are my most vital tools. Humor opens; poetry deepens. Together they create space for ideas to resonate with a wide audience. I take pleasure in revealing the peculiarities and particularities of places — not as curiosities, but as sources of pride. By amplifying what is already present, I aim to strengthen the sense of value and belonging within communities.
I navigate between the local and the global. Each project grows from a specific context, yet forms part of a larger chain of events — action and reaction, cause and effect. What seems close by is often inseparably connected to what is far away.
Art, to me, succeeds when the boundary between fiction and reality dissolves — when an intervention becomes so natural that it no longer needs to be recognized as art. I have little interest in art that remains comfortably within the walls of museums or theaters. I believe in art that slips into the real world — that embeds itself in everyday life and quietly shifts something there.
People who encounter me or my work often wonder where the art begins and ends. I take that as the highest compliment. Because precisely there, in that uncertainty, imagination begins.
