I was raised by an artist, my father, both at home and at school. So art became my natural form of expression. While many artists choose a specific medium, as my father did with sculpture, I take the opposite approach. I believe the medium should evolve based on the idea you want to convey. This philosophy has led me to work across various forms: photography, sculpture, video, installation, performance, painting, and drawing—whatever best suits the concept. Through my work, I seek contradictions to explore alternative perspectives. This process challenges my own beliefs, helps me confront my fears, and reevaluate my needs. It’s especially present in my engagement with loss—both emotional and material—hardship that always leaves its trace. Nostalgia and melancholy are central to my art, reflecting on the passage of time, the sediment it leaves on people and environments, and the loss of innocence. I also explore the erosion of trust in a society I increasingly view with irony and skepticism. In addition to my artistic practice, I teach, and the two roles are deeply interconnected. My teaching informs my art, while my creative processes influence my pedagogy. I don’t see these as separate domains but as mutually enriching. This interplay sparks my interest in the perceptual system, how it is shaped by biases, and how we can both question and manipulate it. I’m also intrigued by the relationship between visual and literary media, and how they intersect in conveying meaning.
