Having the freedom to create my own worlds, I enjoy exploring creations that are not possible in reality but can be perceived as such. I use elements from our daily lives to establish a stronger connection. These questions and confusions, challenging the line between reality and fiction, are often judged from a traditional, pre-digital perspective. But for me, the moment I create or complete them, even within a digital realm, they become real.
As technology advances, future generations will experience a more hybrid existence, where the boundaries between the two worlds blur. Consequently, they will no longer question this duality as much. The coexistence excites me the most as one world relies on the other to exist and engage with the current audience. We are still in a transitional stage, witnessing remarkable advancements. This inspires and enhances my practice by opening up new possibilities.
Throughout the years, I have sought to integrate various disciplines to reinterpret nature’s complex beauty. Drawing inspiration from architecture, landscaping, cinematography, and other artistic mediums, I have created imaginative worlds that transcend boundaries and express my artistic vision in a deeply personal and limitless way.
I like to explore the interplay of beauty, minimalism, and functionality, transcending boundaries of possibility and reality. By utilizing digital tools, I can explore my interests across various disciplines and combine them in ways that allow me to materialize my work in different mediums such as static images, animations, short films, architectural spaces, sculptures, in both digital and physical realms.
