Artitst’s Statement
Formally, my work explores the tension between reality and illusion, flatness and three-dimensionality, as well as the conception of space. I use objects and materials with a strong connection to ongoing sociocultural issues and connect them with an artistic process. In my practice, I use different media that revolve around objects, installations and photography as certain thoughts and concepts need certain modes of representation. For me, the variety of media and materials is a metaphor for the issues of cultural hybridity that I try to address in my work.
