Artist Statement

 

"My practice explores the fragility of the individual in restrictive systems. What defense mechanisms are necessary to assert oneself in precarious, authoritarian structures?

 

Genre-bending, neo-fluxus works translate this reality into mythological material language. Mixing figurative and informal painting, sound and video distortions, substance exploitation and exploration, a strain of materials: protagonists who wear scars like jewelry. Creative self-empowerment becomes resistance in a present in which protection is redistributed and cultural resources become increasingly scarce."
