Artist Statement
I am interested in provoking and seeking for a cynically ironic simplicity that emerges in rather complex and unreal circumstances that seem to be impossible to manage or avoid. My work is a pure uncanny documentation of human exertions, burdens, and discomforts to maintain or re-form an ideal self and own world that exist in a person who is at vulnerable, bleak, and unstable moment of the life where one nostalgically sentimentalizes confusions and contradictions of psychological boundaries in our mundane life.
