Statement

My work explores the instability of meaning, continuously shifting interpretations to dismantle certainties. By deconstructing formal structures, I allow them to falter under the weight of their own assumptions. Reinterpretation becomes a tool to question and probe content. Throughout my practice, the notion of failure recurs—expressed as miscommunication, distorted perception, self-referential loops, indifference, or helplessness. Images, ever-changing and elusive, seem to collapse just as they attempt to convey their intended messages.

In Xanax Bridge (2014), I used sculptures and paintings incorporating anxiolytic brand logos to juxtapose the idea of construction with that of psychological fragility. This direct contrast highlights the paradox between structural solidity and inner instability.

The video installation Cinema offers a subversive and ironic take on failure, reflecting on time’s relentless and futile progression. Projected in an underground cinema, the piece features Walt Disney’s 1931 cartoon The Clock Store, where clocks come to life—laughing and dancing in the absence of their maker—suggesting a whimsical, yet unsettling, view of time without purpose.

Frequently, my work includes mundane objects, photographs, paintings, or mass-produced materials that mask their true meaning behind a theatrical staging of an idealized reality.
