STATEMENT
An inherent part of my working practice is a hermeneutical approach to Chaos regarding all the elements that constitute it: a precious collection of objets trouvé and their interchangeable relationships. My practice operates within the interspace where the concept can be considered a found object and the found object considered a concept. An integrative approach to artistic languages used for representation is also a part of it; each of them can be considered the subiectum, a focal point of artistic research. I follow this modus operandi throughout the entire working process, starting with reinterpretation, occurring through the act of observing, and documentation. This approach is further elaborated by work with different mediums, developing the materiality alongside the concept, applying them to each other accordingly, analysing them and pushing their limits. Considering myself a side-kick of artworks-in-process and a translator of stories surrounding us, I more often than not find myself researching down numerous rabbit holes, not just to understand the particularities of the subject in question, but to draw the lines, to repurpose, reproduce, and find new connections.
