HEY!

Interdisciplinary artist based in London, UK.
MA Art and Science at UAL CSM
I really like to speak with the viewer in the first person, because I want there to be no invisible barriers between us.
​
In my artistic practice, I explore the themes of intimacy, physicality, physical limitations, fears of the unknown, and acceptance of death. This list is growing and changing with me. I make projects about what hurts, what I want to understand and what I want to tame. I seek connection with water and quietness of mind.
​
I was born with one eye and all my life I see the world in a plane (2D), as you see images on the screens of smartphones or computers. My partial blindness does not allow me to realize and evaluate the distance, speed and volume of the surrounding world. Most of my work is related to photography and personal research projects. I understand how to live inside a flat image. I combine work with paper and collage, creating artist books, drawings and cyanotypes. I'm fascinated by the number of alternative practices we can work with on an image.
​
Now I feel the insufficiency of my methods and I am working on expanding my artistic tools. I turn to performance, participatory interaction, play and the creation of tactile installations. My task for 2023-2024 is to study corporality and how people operate in volumetric space.
​
In addition to working on project activities, I am very excited about building an ecological and fruitful environment for artists. When I studied photography, I really missed it. So I work to create an environment where people come to grow, help grow and be safe and supportive.
​
As a migrant artist, I feel a lack of social capital while in England, so I created a feedback and collaboration group “Photo Garden”, if you are interested in joining, please feel free to email me.
