Statement
Μy practice deals with the poetics created through human thought, the association of dissimilar things and the way they interact. The idea of interpreting the world through a false image and the failure to accept its true picture by the prisoners in Plato's Allegory of the Cave, is of great importance to my work. The unrecognizable objects often appear to be fragments of another object that have been detached, and are reminiscences of archaeological findings. In addition, the architectural elements of future-like structures and the metal armatures that appear, make the objects somehow resemble findings that have come from the future rather than the past.
