Being born at the turn of the century I’ve first hand experienced the changes digitization brought to our society. A new invention that was supposed to make our lives easier and better.
Many like me have come to learn the hard way that easier isn’t always better and that the opportunity to connect with others over the internet, though easy and amazing, is maybe not as wholesome and fulfilling as we once thought.
Through my multidisciplinary practice I tell stories around these themes of digitization, internet addiction, mindfulness and the importance of solitude. Using elements of nature to explore the relation between the human and the natural. Creating fictional worlds inspired by dreams, and spiritual energy, I want to take you, the viewer, on a journey. Using the advantage of different mediums to touch upon multiple senses visually and auditory to invite you to not only see my work, but experience it.
