About works / performance
My work developed within the context of sculpture, which has its origin in expressing the body. I grew up in a society that bustles with overproduction and consumption.But I do not want to participate such a social system, at least in my work. For this reason I began to alter the value of the unwanted material by transforming it into something new. I sew without a machine, only with my hands. It is a gesture to make time tick at my own pace in our high-speed society.With these intentions I make my work each day.
