Embrace the void

My work explores the loss of home and the search for belonging. With each move,I leave parts of my past and meet new versions of myself. Through my body and the objects that stay with me for a while, I compose scenes,holding what is already slipping away.

My work explores the loss of home and the search for new forms of belonging. Raised in a family of artists, I was surrounded by objects filled with memories. For many years, moving was a conscious choice — a search for myself and for new possibilities of growth within a space that felt increasingly restrictive.

With each transition, I lose parts of my past and encounter new versions of myself. I reflect on this through my body — the only constant refuge — and through the things that accompany me for a time. Photography allows me to weave them into scenes made of memory fragments, holding on to what slips away, as if to remind myself that to possess is nothing more than to embrace the void.
