Time is an important element in drawing. Is it possible to create an experience of both simultaneity and succession through a two-dimensional image, to change the direction of time? How does a change from a  sharp drawing line to a soft one affect the drawing?

Relentlessly, I am interested in different world views when a worldview consists of structures that are layered, nested, parallel, visible and invisible. These structures are decisive in internalizing and processing experiences. They influence society, the distribution of power, human relationships, our values, and choices.

My work and my pieces are a commentary by nature. But at the same time, the act of making the work also become evidence and part of the structures of worldview(s). Distancing is only ironically possible up to a certain point.
