I am a multidisciplinary artist engaged in various mediums such as drawing, photography, sculpture, and performance. My work explores power, assimilation with nature and associative flow. I create from an inner, emotional and associative place, creating a ritual and ceremonial dimension. My creative process involves observing the world and investigating actions and phenomena. Wherever I am, I find a piece of nature and visit it on a daily basis. I assimilate into the space and let it influence my world. I connect to the place and the people, and I spontaneously draw, document and scribble. I find moments that one can pass by without noticing. In my work, I go out alone or with others who I invite to join me, and suddenly images emerge. These images appear either from the material I work with, or from the space and its influence on me. I move between these two poles – knowing and wandering. I observe destruction together with life, and through observation I discover beauty in them both. The ink drawings take me outside, so the ink leads me to action. The movement of the drawing guides my hand, and I return to the same places and draw them again and again, thus recording changes. The drawing expresses inner images and things that occupy my mind, thereby creating a kind of inner eye. I use the camera for both stills and video, usually long exposures without editing. The camera allows me to position myself at a point in time and pause it. In this process I witness the meeting point between the forces of different materials, for example, a burnt forest in fog or moonlight at night. When I photograph, sometimes I am the director, sometimes the actress, and sometimes an observer, while nature serves as my laboratory. The photographic dimension sharpens the understanding that the event continues with me and without me, yet my point of view and the positioning in the space creates something new - the focus on a certain section, the possibility to take it out of context, to disassemble and give it a new meaning somewhere between imagination and reality. Through sculpting and working with material, I explore and reveal its properties. Water is a recurring motif in my work. Absorbing, dissolving, permeating, in constant motion and unable to resist. The materials I use – wood, rust, and sand – are materials that represent something stable and uniform, but can actually be disassembled and change their shape, sometimes willingly and sometimes with resistance.
