My practice is interdisciplinary and improvisational which integrates mainly sculptural language, but also sound and performance. I ground the absurd aesthetics of Sisyphus deeply in my methodology which is nearly irrational, inherently brave, and instinctively naive, to face and reflect on themes such as otherness, failure, death, resistance and destruction.
I am critically examining the conventions I have inherited. I wish to embrace the fact of entropy and chaos to save “flaws” and “mistakes”. I have to continue challenge the existing power system in hypocrisy while accepting the perpetual fact that I will always be in it. I hope to embrace the debris of the era, aiming to evoke vitality, humanity, and collectiveness of the time thriving beneath these ruins.
I hope, fewer internal conflicts, intertwined struggles, heavy passiveness, burning hesitations and sadness-driven joy.
