My works are born out of reflections on routine, its inevitability, and the loss of a certain naivety in perceiving the world. It’s a constant confrontation with the thought that one must fit into a system, working a “regular” job. Paradoxically, it is this very routine that has become the source of inspiration for my art.

The red thread present in my works symbolizes the endless connection to art — a connection that persists even in moments when it seems there’s no time for it. It serves as a reminder that art remains a part of me, despite exhaustion, doubt, and the weight of everyday concerns.

In my works, I explore themes of loneliness, the cyclical nature of daily life, and the spiraling of thoughts that sometimes grow into big anxieties. I delve into memories that have slipped away forever and the effect of growing up — or the illusion of it.

These creations are an attempt to understand how we turn small things into overwhelming experiences, how anxieties grow within us, yet ultimately lead us nowhere. It is a dialogue between inner fears and the effort to find balance when everything seems to be spinning out of control.
