"My art practice is mainly based on photo montage and collage techniques. The camera is an extension of the mind when exploring existential topics from a body based perspective. Psychology and philosophy related to somatic experiencing is at the core.

The phenomenon fragmented memory is key to the artwork in Remembrances of a body and Inner Realities are not a linear story. For example, it shows as the difficulty to articulate a coherent story after a traumatic event. The alarmed brain simply process and store such memory pieces differently. Thus, the external and internal narratives have different structures and logic. The latter is my field of work.

I keep returning to the phrasing inner realities are not a linear story in the work process. My visual language unfolds from that notion. It's some kind of controlled chaoses of asymmetric and distorted forms, and body compositions without claim to physical realism. In that I find a sense of calm and clarity".
