ABOUT ME
I am a visual artist and art therapist. In my artistic practice, I explore the interactions and dependencies between the individual and society. Time and again, I discover the unique reflective potential of this medium, which helps me understand and examine my own position within society. In my therapeutic work in clinical settings, I witness how enriching it can be for others to access this potential. These experiences form the foundation of my work and the basis of the services described here. In an increasingly challenging time, mental health is becoming more important. Self-exploration and reflection can help us navigate everyday life in a constructive way.

MY ARTISTIC WORK
Through my site-sensitive installations and body-related sculptures, I explore the relationship between space and body. My work plays with contrasts such as fragility and stability, softness and hardness. These polarities shape societal thought patterns, yet art reveals ambiguity as a potential. The body is seen as a site of power, intimacy, and transformation—but what shapes and movements define it? I am particularly interested in the intersections of sculpture, space, and performance. By integrating the human body into my work, I blur the boundaries between art and audience, opening new perspectives.
