Artist Statement
"My practice spans drawing, installation, video, and printed matter, all of which are approached with a socially engaged and research-led working methodology.
The concerns I continuously pursue in my artistic activity include issues such as the power system, public space, body, and ethics and their relation to identity formation.
In my work, I try to raise questions related to the life of the middle class and the public spaces of the city. I use both sports and the fairy tale as an alternative narrative base. By observing the margins of daily life and subcultures, I try to explore resulting expectations of the possible future through speculative fiction from the point of view of subtle personal struggles."
