Artist Statement

I perceive the world as a single organism, where everything is interconnected, and one flows smoothly into another. Like an immense tree with multiple trunks and roots branching out, or a mycelium with countless hyphae. In my artistic practice, I strive to reveal as many of these amazing connections as possible in everyday life.

Shifting of the internal view from familiar patterns and the transition from one form to another, where a third meaning is born, are important for me. This is where my desire for interdisciplinarity, for the boundaries of mediums and intermediate states, stems. My primary mediums are photography, collage, text, video, and art objects. My methods are based on experimentation, thoughtful observation, and lyrical inquiry.

In my projects, I often address environmental themes: not only do I reveal human traces in nature, but I also try to find ways of restoring the lost connection between people and nature. My interest in ecology stems from the place where I was born and raised. A small town and a house near a protected forest instilled in me a reverent attitude towards nature. Among the ways to build new connections with space, dialogue with the world as an equal plays a key role for me.

Humanity itself remains unknown to me. And in this context, turning to memory, sensory experience and attention, as well as linguistic constructs, becomes a bridge that brings us closer to understanding the human and other species. I like the ideas of the new anthropology, where humans appear as part of a world in which every creature is wondrous and unknown.

Interconnections are a significant motif in my practice. I find them everywhere. In nature, environments of urban and non-human agents. It is in the ordinary and seemingly unattractive at first glance that I see the depth of life.
