Statement:

For the last 15 years, I have been making art about the intricacies of human  connection within the context of contemporary society, exploring themes of intimacy, authenticity and the blurred boundaries between reality and fiction. Through a multidisciplinary approach encompassing photography, performance, video and interactive experiences, I create artworks that challenge conventional notions of interpersonal relationships and societal norms.
