I MARK MY BREATHS ON DIFFERENT MATERIALS FROM SUNRISE TO SUNSET
Breathing has become the most important starting point for my work, consistently realised through my work entitled “Marking Breath”. I mark my breaths on different materials from sunrise to sunset.

“I can breathe in my own way, but the air will never simply be mine.”
Luce Irigaray
The materials are always related to the place in which I’m located. The materiality is a witness and bearer of remembrance of the place and site specific reality. Through my practice I explore human being and connectedness.
I AM FOCUSED ON CREATING WORKS THAT DIRECTLY REFLECT ‘MAN’S BASIC CONDITION’.
I am concerned with breath as a generator for the work. The life that each of us lives and the imprints we leave in the world interest me.
A humanity whose body is flexible fragmented, dismembered and disposed in unlimited possibilities to better revert to what constitutes it and to what it shares with other beings: the vital mechanisms of the body, the desire to exchange, to connect, and to dispose one’s own place in an environment according to established dialogues.
