In my works, I am examining connections and thoughts about the visible, the hidden, the conscious, and the subconscious. I do this through installations, analog photography, video, mapping, and performance. In the creation process, I explore the viewer's optical illusions, thinking about the gap between what exists and what the viewer experiences, between matter and its absence.
I investigate the issue of time and the duration of actions through a construction of mechanisms that produce a repetitive movement. I use electronic sensors of various types such as sound, distance, light, and motion sensors that are usually operated with Arduino to highlight the repetitiveness. Through the sensors, I am emphasizing the viewer's presence, making it an essential part of the work. The gap between what the viewer sees and what happens in space helps me explore questions on identity and existence.
