Artist Statement
In my art, I get inspired by the complexity of human mind and its connection to our body and movement.
Art should originate from a healthy, safe and acceptable environment. That’s why I find creating a safe space around art the most important aspect of my work. Pursuing a more sustainable environment is the future of art.
In my dance art, there is a relation between mind, body, movement and breath. Instead of making something new, we create a unique way of movement and existing in time and place with our mind, body and breath.
