Artist Statement
The core of my artistic practice lies in expanding the classifications and categories associated with human interactions within their immediate environments. Through various perspectives, ranging from intuitive curiosity to intellectual and pragmatic approaches, I seek to propose a multifaceted definition of the architectural and cultural projects that shape our society. Recently, my work has been particularly focused on reimagining what constitutes cultural heritage within the realms of architecture and urbanism. I strive to shed light on neglected places and structures, urging viewers to reconsider their significance and encouraging dialogue around topics such as signalization, function, politics, history, memory, material, volume, space, and architecture.
