Artist statement

My work explores how ordinary people become entangled in systems of belonging, exclusion, and power. Through painting, drawing, animation, and research, I investigate the fragile boundaries between victim and perpetrator, neighbour and stranger, witness and participant.

​

Rather than depicting historical events directly, I use fictional narratives, archetypal characters, and visual archives to explore how fear, loyalty, ideology, and silence shape everyday life.

​

I am interested in the figure of “the Other” not as a distant enemy, but as someone nearby: a neighbour, a colleague, a family member, or even oneself. My work focuses on the moments when these boundaries begin to shift and when ordinary people become participants in larger systems of separation and power.

Working between still and moving images, I use painting and animation to create spaces of uncertainty, where multiple perspectives can coexist and easy conclusions are resisted.

​

I am interested not in answers, but in thresholds: the moment before collapse, before violence, before a neighbour becomes an enemy.
