About

I am a visual artist working at the threshold of contemporary archaeology, spatial poetics, and the hidden narratives of our built environment. My practice is driven by the curiosity that I feel when I encounter traces of human presence in abandoned or overlooked spaces. Sites that exist in transition between use and neglect, memory and forgetting.

As a child, I collected fragments of pottery and clay pipes unearthed each year in the ploughed fields near my home. My room was filled with found objects and maybe this was my first installation. What fascinated me was not the factual history these objects might reveal, but the sense of mystery they carried by the way they invited speculation and imagination. This fascination for fragments of small objects has grown into my artistic exploration of bigger, architectural remnants and the fragile states in which buildings and landscapes reveal themselves when they lose their prescribed function.

Abandoned factories, disused shops, and former offices are not the picturesque ruins of castles or cathedrals, but they carry with them the stories of our present. They are layered collages created by political and economic forces. These contemporary ruins are often places that no longer serve their original purpose, but have not been redefined either. In their in-between state, they become charged with something else: ambiguity, memory, potential. The spaces that inspire me look like a film set, but are not fictional. Here, reality is stranger than fiction.

These sites are not inert. They generate subtle forms of resistance against the dominant logic of economic utility and redevelopment. They remind us that space can carry meaning beyond profit, that voids can become sites of reflection, imagination, and resonance. My practice seeks to reveal the poetic and political potential of these voids: to let them speak, not through spectacle, but through resonance.
