In my work I study similarity of personal (human) and global (Earth and unhuman actors) memory, mundanity and the others. I try to operate private and family archives as well as scientific facts and cultural artifacts. I prefer to work with graphics and three-dimensional objects, but I’m also interested in mixing mediums and in collaborating with cross-disciplinary collectives. As an enthusiastic reader and an illustrator I believe that storytelling and texts are also essential part of my artistic practice.
