I am a creative practitioner working in the meeting point between art and architecture.
My work elaborate on the idea of “the context”, by navigating throughout different notions about culture, identity and the broader understanding of architecture.

In my studio
I use my studio for experiments and to work with different materials, from plaster, 3d printing, carpentry, etc. I also collect and archive a number of objects, materials, etc.
Planned projects and exhibitions
I am preparing for a duo show with Carlos Alberto Correia, set for the spring of 2026 at BABEL Visningsrom for Kunst in Trondheim. This collaboration will take place in a newly refurbished venue featuring a spacious room with a six-meter-high ceiling.
Taking advantage of the room’s height, we will explore varying scales, where intersecting volumes, monumental structures, and juxtaposed forms engage with the audience. Our goal is to create a dynamic environment that invites the audience to reflect on the forces—social, economic, and environmental—that shape our world.
