About

As a visual artist and designer, my motivation is based upon the concept of resonance with rippled structures in natural and agricultural landscapes. With a background in product and spatial design, my practice consists of field research, transdisciplinary dialogue and experimentation with investigative alchemical techniques for creating materials from degradable and natural substances, primarily sourced from vegetal and geological realms. By analyzing, dissecting, and translating phenomena and materials, I reveal the hidden potential of organic matter at various scales. This insight enables me to create hybrid compositions through textile, fashion, and (bio)material sculpture, reflecting the ecological relationship between human and non-human entities.
