I am interested in human-animal relationships. My work and process engage the underlying issues of these relationships, digest their status and attempt to raise awareness. 

As an artist I specialise in lens-based media and sound, but I tend not to limit myself with respect to medium. With a background in science, I believe that art can have scientific value, and that scientific studies can be artistic as well.To me, art may not be able to solve contemporary issues. The power of art lies within its unique qualities, which allow us to contemplate things longer, and help us ask beneficial questions.
