I work with the idea of depicting time in overlapping layers—a visualization of human activity, collective memory, and movement, inspired by literature, mycology, local history, and self-invented connections arising from the collisions between these themes.
The paintings exist within an enclosed visual universe, almost like fever dreams or visualizations of the nature of memories (precise yet fleeting), where figurative elements strive to find their position amidst the surrounding noise.
