ARTIST STATEMENT

"Dark areas of the tongue"

Has humanity ever possessed anything more authentic than the experience of living its own life?

In an era when digital visibility and the need for efficiency have become a form of control, I am returning the right to secrecy, silence and the opportunity not to act. My practice can be called a diary, where a quiet and lasting minimal (minor) gesture becomes a strategy of resistance. My works — graphics, paintings, objects, installations, exhibitions — expand the gesture of writing into space, forming an affective "feminine architecture" that is different in its structure. Dark areas of thinking are found between the languages of architecture, calligraphy, programming and dance. My main mediums are ritual, pause, and emptiness.

There is nothing, just an omnipotent and ever-recurring myth.
