My practice is centered on the objects and systems of human domination. Through my work, I analyze different systems and reconsider their parameters, seeking to "liberate" these objects by altering their usual constraints. I am interested in exploring the impact of the themes that I work on in a larger context and taking a particular interest in objects from an ontological perspective. In my work, I seek to challenge our modern human tendency to see the world as a collection of objects that must be conquered and dominated. Instead, I embrace unpredictability, ambiguity, and human and non-human relations, recognizing that encountering and interacting with the real world requires us to be open to things beyond our control.
