My artistic practice employs time-based media and performance, with video, music, and sound as central elements. The works are often described as intersections of visual art, performing arts, and music. They are frequently exhibited as installations featuring interactions between various elements and layers of reflection, characterized by an exploratory and philosophical/essayistic approach, incorporating political, philosophical, poetic, and personal elements.
