Art is a language that articulates deeply embedded, submerged emotions. The intertwining of bodies and feelings holds great significance in my work. I seek to explore the connections between traumas, dreams, emotions, and physical pain.
My artworks translate the struggles of identities in an uncertain world ruled by the homophobic and militaristic patriarchy. As an artist, I am concerned about the normalization of inequalities and diffusive ignorance in modern societies. My artworks are interpretations of anxieties and massive emotions; they are the visual translations of uncomfortable feelings and frustration.
