ARTIST STATEMENT

My art practice is anchored in a socio-political exploration of communication and language as impacted by power dynamics and politics. I am intrigued by tensions around political correctness and ‘cancel culture’. Currently, my research delves into censorship and protest, examining their dynamics in both totalitarian regimes and democracies.

I engage with various mediums, including sculpture, installation, video, video-installation, photography, and sound, using methods ranging from digital fabrication to weaving and casting. Modifying objects, thus amplifying their ethical and aesthetic resonance is central to my practice. Working with archive material, documents, slogans, found messages in public spaces as well as other elements from ordinary life and popular culture is also crucial to me. I am particularly drawn to a process-based approach to work, where fluidity and participant involvement are integral. My art-making processes and their performative component are frequently included as a meaningful part of my projects in which I often invite audience interaction. 

I question the artist’s role in society, considering them as unique researchers who highlight dysfunctional aspects of reality. Accordingly, my work is informed by context—the here and now: this precise moment in history, in the country, the city, and the spaces we inhabit.
