" I work in various media in my art and the subject usually defines the technique of the work. I am interested in society, how it is constructed and how this reflects upon us, as individuals; how citizens can be economical products and what are the powers, that tell us what to do and expect. Through my works I want to provide the possibility for people to discover something about their daily lives that they usually don’t have the possibility or time to notice. Furthermore, I hope that we all would understand our position in our mutual hamster’s wheel."
