I work with traditional craft techniques. My practice is shaped through processes that require repetition, time, and sustained labor. For me, this is not only a method of production but also a way of thinking, focusing, and constructing structure.
My work explores the tension between decorative surfaces and repressed content. I place culturally excluded, ignored, or suppressed elements within compositions that appear familiar, symmetrical, and stable. This confrontation reveals that aesthetics are not neutral, and that decorative surfaces can operate as systems of regulation and control.
Repetition, patience, and labor function not only as visual elements but as ways of establishing and maintaining boundaries. My process is not driven by speed, but by duration and accumulation. The works emerge as surfaces that are built over time, rather than images designed for immediate consumption.
I have not received formal academic training in art. My practice has developed through a self-directed process of making and research, where technical learning and conceptual inquiry evolve simultaneously through repetition and experimentation. Rather than following a predefined framework, my work progresses according to its own internal tensions and directions.
