Artist Statement
I perceive the world as a single living organism in which all forms of existence are interconnected and equal. In this paradigm, humans do not occupy a central position but remain as unknown as other creatures.
My practice rejects direct aesthetics and shock value, relying on the value of pauses, silence, and intervals in which subtle, unobtrusive signs of life and attention to presence manifest themselves. Through memory, sensory and bodily experience, I seek connections between the human and the non-human. These interrelationships become the central motif of my works.
The poetry of everyday life and an interdisciplinary approach are creative methods and a view of attention. Through subtle gestures, everyday situations, and material traces, I explore ways of being present and involved in the world. A significant aspect is the shift in perception from fast and automatic to slow and attentive, allowing one to grasp the connections between humans and their environment. I see this slowing down as an artistic and ethical strategy aimed at overcoming the disconnect between humans and nature, as well as an agent for critically reflecting on the culture of overconsumption and a decrease in sensitivity to the surrounding world.
