I am an artist and work with sculpture and graphics. My artworks are related to search for a person's identity and understanding human’s place in the world. The images I use reflect experience of living within the body, the feeling of fragility, vulnerability and sensitivity. I am interested in exploring physicality as ubjective reality, the feelings and sensations that are lived in the body, in comparison with the body, which is interpreted as appearance – what is evaluated by others, is subject to comparison, requires constant improvement in order to meet social expectations.
