ARTIST STATEMENT

Moving between methods and mediums, in my artistic practice I explore absence, gaps, and voids. Within them, I discover narratives that once seemed inconspicuous or are preserved in vague outlines. Evidence is erased or exists on the periphery of personal and collective memory; witnesses have vanished or have become non-human agents, and the scenes of the incidents have no landmarks. The contours of such events are found in the areas of tangled memories, on physical and mental maps,  in linguistic thesauri and across the pages of environmental history, along routes of natural migration and forced displacement.

Through my projects, I aim to make visible the traces that reveal the nature of oblivion and difficult heritage. I consider the actualization of memory as a gesture of quiet resistance against forgetting and external pressure. The missing and undisclosed are restored through rituals and re-enactments documented in installations that weave together book objects, video, sound, performance, text, photography, and ready-mades.

Since 2022, handmade paper has become a constant in my practice. I regard it not merely as an aesthetic choice. Working with sheets created from recycled receipts, plants, and other conceptually driven raw sources allows me to create projects where the material itself becomes a mode of storytelling. Simultaneously, I gravitate toward the minimization of means. This embrace of limitations compels me to understand the nature of the material, placing the artistic process in a critical dialogue with ecological issues.
