Artist's Note
Through my work, I seek to isolate and highlight the absurdity of this world, with the aim to accept its existence and create space for new connections. My work is concerned with the limits of humanity and cruelty. It hopes to inspire a dialogue about war, conflict, and the existence of borders in a time that violence and dogmatism are placed in the foreground. Why do we need to be separated in order to coexist? Can we escape violence and injustice if we eliminate the construct of the Other as the enemy?A large body of my work, takes as a starting point the humanitarian crisis in Europe and the war in Syria, to discuss the idea of borders as physical and existential barriers. We tend to understand the concept of a border as a concrete and definite idea, almost as an archetype that precedes its essence. But is it really that way, or is it more of a human construct created to serve particular interests? To discuss this, I create multi-layered installations with simultaneous meanings, that encourage the viewer to unpack them and create new connections. By including contradictory information, I put absurdity in the spotlight.
