ARTIST STATEMENT

I believe in people and the spaces we create together. My work explores how we navigate the world through layers of learned structures, norms, and traditions—filters that shape our perceptions and interactions. Some of these filters become barriers, distancing us from each other, yet I believe they can be examined, questioned, and transformed.

Through installations, performances, and communal spaces, I invite participation and dialogue. My practice engages everyday rituals—gathering around food, storytelling, shared movement—to create moments of presence and connection. By working in public and site-specific contexts, I seek to spark awareness of how we relate to ourselves, others, and the environments we inhabit. Each project is an opportunity to unlearn, reimagine, and rediscover the simplicity of being human, together.
