About

In my artistic practice, I explore the interplay of power, control, and identity. I am interested in how structures and environments shape our behavior, how they provide protection, impose limitations, or define social roles.

To this end, I work across media with installation, photography, video, text, and object-based art. Furniture, elements of interior design, and everyday objects serve as both material and carriers of meaning. They reveal how spaces tell stories about people while simultaneously reflecting social power relations. In this way, I create works that intertwine personal experiences with social questions, probing the boundary between intimacy and the public sphere.

For me, the private is inseparably linked to the political. Personal experiences are never isolated but embedded in larger systems. My own history forms the starting point for universal questions. This is not about self-staging, but about the possibility of connecting individual experiences with collective mechanisms. My works create spaces where personal narratives intersect with societal issues: How do power and control shape our relationships with people, institutions, and ourselves?
