STATEMENT OF ART:
“The act of creating is a lonely act, while in its essence it craves for connecting.”


Trying to think and explore organic as a concept, something that is alive, essential, rooted, layered, as a part of the nature of someone. A way of understanding processes, the being of things and transformation of being. Also to touch, feel, sense, and observe behavior of materials for the first time, examine the color, line movement and space. This creative research is interdisciplinary, through physical, intellectual and spiritual towards contemporary creation.
This “dance” of basic shaping characters is neutral towards gender/sex division of fashion, and even inclines to a gender/sex synthesis.
