about my work

The uncanny and the intimate

It interests me to explore the hidden dynamics between human emotion, folklore, and the animal world. In some way it can be emotional storytelling, where the ordinary transforms into the mythical. Where the familiar and the surreal meet.

I like to integrate elements of mythology, personal memory, and the natural world, not as fixed symbols but as raw materials to build open narratives.

It’s an expedition in search where wildness and tenderness, chaos and care, instinct and intention are intersecting to build a bond.
