About me
Using various forms and technologies of Media art, I express different phenomena, conflicts, and dilemmas through visual metaphors. I am particularly interested in research-based projects that allow me to investigate various scientific and sociological topics through an archaeological lens. Playful in tone, my works draw on personal experiences as well and engage with themes like competitiveness, work, conformity, restlessness, chaos, control, and uncertainty.
