ARTIST VOICE

Drawing from observations, myths, and documentary material, I create narratives that blur the line between fact and fiction. Through layered storytelling, I open “transitory spaces” for mythical and dreamlike reinterpretations of history and current events. My work transforms contemporary phenomena into poetic “mythologies,” blending truth and fiction to question reality and history with irony and poetry.
