At the core of my practice is an exploration of human behavior and our entangled relationship with the environment. Against the backdrop of consumerism and ecological collapse, I investigate how we “digest” and “metabolize” the world we’ve created—physically, emotionally, and symbolically.

Materials play a central role in my work, not only for their formal qualities but also for the cultural and ecological weight they carry. By selecting and transforming discarded elements such as cardboard packaging, plastic, bubble wrap, paper, compost made from my own kitchen scraps, and photographs of the landscape, my work seeks to blur the boundaries between what we define as human and nonhuman, organic and synthetic, alive and inert. My approach invites viewers to confront the traces of consumption embedded in everyday matter while imagining new forms of coexistence.

Driven by curiosity and guided by research, experimentation, and a growing trust in intuition, I continue to develop work that questions, reflects, and proposes. I see my practice as a living process—responsive, grounded, and committed to imagining alternative futures.
