I believe we already have answers to all the pressing issues of today.
We just need to raise awareness and join forces.
In the power of unity lies a (r)evolution.

I am an interdisciplinary dreamer, researching reality.
In my work dreams and nightmares are often juxtaposed, as reality lies between these opposites.
Dichotomies are a central part of my work; dark-light, digital-analogue, modern-ancient, fast-slow, organic-artificial.
I study and experiment with diverse topics and materials to weave a holistic perspective on the collective dream that shapes our external and internal landscape.
‍
Growing up in central Europe, I got a taste of the security of the western world and the societal pressure to submit to the capitalist system.
Seeing the suffering of the underprivileged both within and outside these systems motivated a strong longing for change and justice – both social and environmental.
The double edged sword of capitalism is constantly getting sharper –  absurd wealth for an elite minority on cost of the majority.
My practice wants to dissect this dynamic and pull on its roots.
‍
I perceive a need for circularity, physically and mentally – re-cycling, re-flecting.
My upbringing in a low-income household and close to nature, nudged me to create with the materials I had at hand.
This made me a resourceful tinker.
The mediums I gravitate towards are plant-based or otherwise found in nature, or materials that are considered to be junk.
‍
My scientific education shaped my structured way of researching, whereas my art education connected me deeper to an intuitive researching process.
Both color my artistic research and allow me to combine complex theoretical knowledge with instinctive creation.
‍
My art strives to build bridges and encourage connection within and between individuals.
On my quest to find balance, I am diving into topics around mind, body, and soul.
As a creator I want to shape pieces that allow individuals to embrace their shadow and light.
Shining a light at the things that are suppressed and disregarded to integrate it into a whole.
‍
I am convinced that everything is figure-out-able with my motto: “How hard can it be?”.
