Artist statement
In my artistic practice, I research themes of neofeminism, biopolitics, self-identification, and memory. I explore neofeminism as the pursuit of freedom through women’s perspectives, moving beyond societal stereotypes and expectations. The female body, perceived as a timeless symbol, transcends its physical form to represent profound ideas and emotions. It serves as a starting point for reflecting on women’s roles in modern society, their contributions to creation and development, their awareness, and, ultimately, their preservation of identity.
Biopolitics, including issues of control over the body, reproduction, and even life and death, is another essential aspect of my reflections. These topics raise questions about how we construct identity outside the constraints of societal and institutional frameworks. Experiences of constant immigration and shifting communities around me inspire personal “excavations” of my cultural roots. I have come to see land as a guardian of memory—a repository of traditions and values—and as a means of transmitting knowledge into the future.
Family and faith, for me, represent a safe space where I find protection from the external world. These connections shape my vision, and my works are dedicated to preserving and conveying ideas beyond the reach of institutions and political agendas.
