In my paintings, sculptural installations, performances, and texts, I combine elements from everyday life, pop culture, and (art)historical references. Central to my work is the concept of the terrestrial and the ongoing human attempt to escape groundedness, or “down-to-earthness.” Over the years, the idea of in-between worlds has crystallized for me—a concept that is significant both for my socio-political thinking and my personal biography: the world between the local and the global, the world of the not-yet-digested, the world of tunnels in the mountains, and the ambiguous.
I often work essayistically with a theoretical foundation. Recurring figures (e.g., the knight, the ant) and forms (e.g., the circle) play a central role, functioning as leitmotifs in my narratives and addressing the need to explore personal observations, fears, and hopes, which in turn are embedded in a broader political and cultural context. In this framework, I understand “figuring” also as “figuring out”: that is, the process of discovering, comprehending, and striving to understand.
