PERSONAL SATEMENT
ABOUT
Out of an impulse to explore, to take risks and to discover what happens when an idea becomes something real.
For as long as I can remember, creation has been an instinct. Sometimes only seconds separate an impulse from an action. A thought becomes a sound, a movement, an object, a new possibility.
I am fascinated by the unknown, by everything that unfolds along the way. The mistakes, the unexpected turns, the falls and the breakthroughs are all part of what makes creation meaningful to me.
Intention is at the heart of my practice. Whether I work with sound, performance, moving image or physical materials, I see each creation as a dialogue between my inner world and the world around me.
I am drawn to nature, dreams, rituals, human perception and the invisible relationships between things. I explore these interests through experimentation, intuition and a willingness to embrace contradictions.
For me, art is a way of communicating with life. A space to question, to feel, to discover new perspectives and to remain open to what I do not yet understand.
