Artist statement
My practice investigates the collapse of boundaries between the natural, the synthetic, and the human. Starting from organic remnants marked by environmental disruption, I generate chimerical creatures suspended between animal gesture, botanical memory, and artificial skin. Vibrant colors, formal perfection, and tactile seduction operate as a sensory trap. This mechanism transforms wounded matter into a sovereign, self-sufficient organism, using extreme beauty as an active ambush that questions our very definition of what can be perceived as living.
