My practice explores ephemeral and transcendental possibilities via a concise disruption and manipulation of existing spaces, frameworks, and systems. As Brechtian subversions of contextually associated everyday objects and systemic roles found within given shared environments, the work involves object-based ​interventions, performative actions, institutional mediations, and is, more often than not, a combination of these elements.

The novelty and uncanny nature of these situations, and the vulnerability asked from viewers aligns their attention with the present and reveals circumstantial actualities.
