Statment

The core of my artistic exploration centers on humanity, not because man is at the center of the world, but because the world is at the center of him. The human body, comprised of atoms in constant motion, symbolizes life. When motion ceases, life ends, sparking the relentless struggle to remember and immortalize the individual

The evolutionary principle that separates humans from nature emphasizes loneliness, and to alleviate this solitude, a perception anchored in definitions and constants is required: self, family/tribe, part of a nation/religion, residing in a political body/state. My work delves into the origins of these definitions, extracting them from their context and situating them in a new one

The theme of "home" resonates in my work, exploring the “homes” of historical gods, nations, and essences. By distilling their essence, I aim to uncover a universal truth, bridging the gap between private and general experiences
