"In my emerging practice, I allow myself to be led by the limits of the material I am working with.
I tend to push beyond the boundaries of the scale of the human body and delve into larger sculptural forms. I have long been interested in reconsidering the value and aesthetics of everyday objects. Influenced by my hypersensitivity and the ASMR phenomenon, my central theme has become tactility and an intuitive world of fantasy and associations. I don't distinguish between the value of materials that are considered low profile or precious. Instead, I choose them based on their ability to deliver a message or their technical characteristics. I am drawn towards softness and weirdness, but at the same time, I gravitate towards spiky, semi-fictional creatures. Since childhood, I have been drawn to collecting strange objects. When I work, I feel like an archaeologist and scientist, discovering creatures and exploring ways in which they can coexist with the human body. I aim to excavate from my soul all the peculiar creatures that can happily live in symbiosis on the human body. Although my use of materials is wide, the pieces I create lately have a common basis: living features, with a creepy crawlies-like vibe."
