bio



                 

My work centers around the interplay between images reproduction, memory, and the space I inhabit
which serve as an archive. I am particularly interested in the notion of spaces as transactional entities
potentially influencing the elusive feeling of “home”. Many of my pieces are transportable and can be packed
into a backpack quite literally. Painting and sculpture also inform my process.
They echo in my practice
. Indeed, there is an unusually close relationship between my own body and the
sculptural architectural body I’m creating, considering them in a constant dialogue.
My fascination with space encompasses not only its physical dimension but also its intangible, metaphorical
and psychological aspects.
