About

Working like an interdisciplinary visual artist since 2003, I have produced art pieces that respond to my critical and constructive thinking on some controversial aspects of society. An example of this is The Invisible Blood Sucker installation that I created to expose the economic crisis of 2008.

In my work, I use media such as sculptures, sounds, digital images and digital motions to express my understanding of art as an experimental process originating from daily human interactions. Example of this includes my work in progress I Cannot Understand, which research about how people of different ethnicity and culture interact or communicate with each other.

Another characteristic of my artwork is to captures the transformation phase cycle of life by experimenting with diverse materials and techniques, which only show the existence of impermanency.
