I believe that even the most personal can be political. After all, every puddle reflects the Sun—its greatness can be seen in a single drop of water before it is dried up by its heat. What seemed outdated yesterday may feel urgent today, and vice versa. A threat revives when the last surviving witness is gone.

The themes close to my work always emerge from lived experience—from everyday routines and moments. Emotions and feelings linger on the objects I create, shaped by relationships, work done for money, or the impact of media and social networks. I often draw inspiration from mythology, history, and poetry.

I’m interested in themes of relationships and gender, and currently in motherhood and aging—how my life changed when I became a mother myself.

If I were to summarize my work in a few sentences, I would describe it as multimedia art rooted firmly in sculpture. I create sculptures and installations that are deeply embedded in the moment—tied to the specific time I’m living through and the subjects that matter to me right now.
