About
In my artistic practice, I explore the interplay of power, control, and identity. I am interested in how environments and structures shape our behavior–how they offer protection, impose limitations, or define social roles. Using elements of interior design, I deconstruct familiar settings to reveal their underlying mechanisms. My installations intertwine personal experiences with broader social questions, examining the boundaries between intimacy and public life.
My approach is interdisciplinary: I work with installation, video, photography, text, and object-based art, choosing the medium that best serves the content. Familiar objects such as furniture or everyday items are altered or stripped of their function to open up new layers of meaning. My work addresses control and dependence, proximity and distance—examining how emotional and societal power dynamics manifest in everyday structures.
For me, the private is always political. Personal experiences are never isolated but embedded in larger systems. My own story serves as a starting point for universal questions—not as self-staging, but as a way to connect individual experiences with social mechanisms. My works are spaces where personal narratives intersect with broader societal issues: Who is in control? What structures uphold it? And how does space influence our relationships—with others, with institutions, and with ourselves?
