I'm interested in objects that no one pays attention to, things without value, or made only to be useful. I feel empathy for these forgotten items, and I make them mine by studying them, analyzing them, and recreating them.
Everyday, ordinary things might seem boring, but for me, they are full of stories and imagination. I try to bring them into the spotlight by playing with shapes and perspective.
I use oil painting and weaving—two slow and traditional techniques—to create a contrast with the simple objects I work with. A toolbox becomes a jewelry box.
A small stone becomes a precious gem.
Recently, I started using 3D in my work. It helps me bring still objects to life and build stories around them, while imagining new, more immersive ways to show them.
