I am an artist working with the theme of contact.
Contact is the way we exist as humans. Our reality is shaped through bodily experience — the brain interprets what the body accepts, and from this, our subjective world emerges.

The ability to remember and imagine allows us to connect our individual experiences into shared systems: myths, intuitive and mystical beliefs, and scientific knowledge. This human capacity inspires me and fills me with questions that awaken imagination and drive me to reflect, feel, and create.
What is human memory? What shapes our awareness of self?
Why can we imagine, create, and believe?
How do we transform personal experience into something we can share — a story, a myth, an idea?

I search for answers as an artist — through materials, movement, sensory presence, knowledge and reflection, rhythm, visualization, sound, and form. I move between logic and intuition, science and bodily sensation, structure and imagination.
How do we comprehend the world?
How do we make contact?

I breathe in subjective experience and breathe out new myths —
in search of connection, collaboration, and shared meaning.
