Guided by my architectural background, I consider that environment is not something static, but is constantly reconfigured through its intercorrelation with people. I am concerned with the expressive and associative potential of art, treating artworks as fundamental spatial explorations, capable of describing experiences while manifesting their interrelationship to life. In my practice, object is treated as a metaphor of the human being, by linking environment and its elements directly to behaviour and activity.
My works aspire to become solid containers of memories and emotions, breaking physical limits and connecting with time. Considering of the world as an extension of our physical bodies, I am interested in human behaviour as expressed through the contact between people and their surroundings. In that sense I am trying to connect the architect’s and the artist’s point of view in my practice that focuses primarily in shaping space and its components rather than shaping form. Balancing different methods of expression, I try to encourage the interdisciplinary interaction that is central to my objectives, investigating the interrelationships between people, space and time and the ways human traces and memory capture life and emotion.
