Artist's Statement
The world as we know it is in a constant state of transformation. Political, social, economic, and religious systems are being questioned, dismantled, and reimagined. In the midst of this instability, my artistic practice seeks to explore what remains truly essential—what we hold most valuable—in an age defined by uncertainty.
Since 2009, I have been using colorful stickers as my primary medium. Drawn from the endless stream of images circulating online and in print—fashion models, animals, plants, consumer goods, religious icons—these symbols are layered without hierarchy or clear intent. Their chaotic, collage-like assembly constructs a world that feels at once hyperreal and dreamlike. Beneath the surface of glitter, overload, and disorder lies a reflection of the fractured nature of contemporary life: our sense of disconnection, helplessness, and a shared, often silent anxiety.
