“I work on questions concerning the perception and formation of reality. I am especially interested in the aesthetic thinking which exemplifies the continuous transformation of the world through our imagination using the experience of art and its perception processes. In my work (painting, digital graphics, photography, and installation), I experiment with the overlapping of thinking from and in images, the interdependent construction of realities and the fluid processes and layers of the material world and its imaginary spaces. In addition to the phenomenological aspects, it is also about the ethical question in which extent aesthetic thinking has the power to break up fixed perceptions and may have the potential to release tolerance and critical thinking.”
