My artistic research aims to investigate what connects us with space and how we constantly create our environment as a mental realm, where encounter is possible, without imposing a static state. I am interested in works that operate in the tradition of fine arts by utilizing scientific methods and visual phenomena conceptually. These works are often transitory with an emphasis on the experience of transformed material. I have developed an interest in social constructionism that examines the development of jointly constructed understandings of the world that form the basis for shared assumptions about reality. My own artistic practice acknowledges perceptional correspondence to the world, which emphases the impossibility of original meaning and the need to constantly create meaning through individual (visual) experience. Although, my work is never strictly political, it always plays with conventions and challenges established systems. In other words, I examine the spatial politics of the sculptural. In this context, an increasingly globalized and digitalized world, which goes beyond of every-day experiences of the physical realm, is at the center of my artistic research.
