Artist Statement

I build with images, with space, with material – and with words. I think in lines, in shadows, in layers. And in loudness inside the quiet. Often, I begin with a structure – but I feel like it’s not the structure itself that interests me. It’s what strengthens it. What connects it. Within itself. With its surroundings. Or what shimmers through.

Sometimes it’s about construction. Sometimes about memory. Sometimes it’s simply about giving shape to a feeling that doesn’t want to soothe. Something that speaks loudly in silence. I come from architecture, from design, from a desire to build something that holds and functions. And I’ve realized: It’s not the cohesion that moves me. Not the function. But what feels visible through the act of holding .
I grew up between places. Between languages. Between stories that never fully aligned. I spent years trying to make sense of it. Now, I let it stand. In my work. In the image. In space. Maybe that’s my more precise form of belonging.

What has accompanied me all my life is the search for a place. Not just socially – but physically, formally, intuitively. Connections fascinate me. How things come together. How they hold. How friction, tension, or proportion suddenly creates unity. Even a circle can fit into a square hole. It’s only a matter of diameter. Maybe that’s what it’s all about: To build something that rises. Loud from the quiet. Even if it doesn’t fit perfectly. Constructions that don’t explain, but hold. Compositions that feel right – because they come from connection, not intention.
