Statement

My artistic practice aims to move beyond the surface of society and reveal hidden or unheard realities. At the heart of my research lie the relationships that shape our existence: the often contradictory dialogue with ourselves; the ambivalent bond with the micro-world surrounding us; the individual’s place within the broader human community, suspended between interdependence and the egocentric solitude of our time; and our shared responsibility toward the environment.

Direct interaction and dialogue with others are the starting point of my reflections, while the transformation of objects — traces of different lives and experiences — becomes a way to convey new, universal meanings. My work is inspired by the sub-Saharan ubuntu philosophy, which sees each person as a creative part of a greater whole made of humanity and Nature, where identity emerges through a dynamic, intersubjective process. I believe it is urgent to apply this vision today, translating it into artistic forms capable of reaching people deeply and speaking to their inner selves.

In my process, materials with their own stories, marks, and symbolic echoes guide the evolution of the work. Their inherent memories interact with light and space, allowing what is hidden to emerge and what is visible to transform — a continuous interplay that leads me to explore different expressive paths.
