My work mainly serves as a reflection and critique of societal norms. I explore narratives that evoke emotional connections and reference aspects of existence. Through symbolism and allegory, I refer to what lies beneath the surface, using varying imagery. I create imaginative realms that defy logic but are directly influenced by my experiences. I investigate different themes that affect people from all walks of life, concerning inequality and systemic oppression. Having had a nomadic experience I fuse both science and spirituality.
