Introduction to my work
I observe my surroundings and direct my view to the spaces in between. I am particularly interested in patriarchal structures, roles and routines that shape our existence and often remain hidden. Through sculptural and installative settings, I make these mechanisms visible. Within this field, I playfully work with motifs from everyday life, folk customs or architecture and transfer them into new contexts.
At the center of my practice are everyday materials and traditional craft techniques. Their familiarity allows viewers a direct access, while their transformative potential unfolds through my experimental interventions.
With poetic shifts, humor, and deliberately chosen inconsistencies, I create situations of productive irritation, laying the groundwork for more equitable narratives.
