We search magic and we hunt freedom in the cosmic dance that we all are part of. Everything is moving forward in different rhythms. We all have a special pace which we mostly follow. Music is one of the most obvious rhythms that surround us and affect our urge to move freely.

My artwork focuses on interactive installations and video, but I also work with happening, performance, photo, painting and sound. I have made a boat to show how easy it actually is to make it by oneself. It seems like in deserted places people tend to make more handicraft… I want to gaze at various lifestyles, time episodes and world cultures to find innovative ways to be. From time to time we need space to hide from everything and even from ourselves, some of us more often than others.

I want my work to raise feelings such as the emotions of the oceans and the feeling that anything can come out of the blue. What would you do if you suddenly became an outcast? To quote Eminem: “Would you capture it or just let it slip?”
