In my work, I turn to the experience of inner tension that emerges when perspective is lost and familiar points of orientation become unstable. I am drawn to states in which established structures fall apart and semantic links shift or dissolve. Through distorted images and symbols, I attempt to capture moments of instability — those points where the personal and the cultural intersect and collapse at the same time. These forms do not seek consolation or coherence; they testify to tectonic shifts in perception and to the possibility of assembling a new sense of reality from its fragments.


In my practice, I use mixed techniques, often choosing those that require physical effort — pressure, force, the resistance of the material. In this way, the process of making becomes an extension of the very theme of tension: the work emerges not only from an internal state but also through bodily endurance. Production becomes an act of resistance, where gesture, texture, and the trace of interaction with the surface form a new accumulation of meanings embedded in physical matter.
