Artist Stamement: Our history is the history of life on Earth. When viewed through the lens of evolutionary biology, deep time, or microbiology, alternative perspectives open up, inviting us to rethink our existence in new ways. In this context, my work delves deeply into the question of what it means to be human.
My art invites everyone to imagine what a human being is beyond hierarchical constructions of race and gender. It explores our connection to each other and to all other life forms on Earth from a non-hierarchical perspective. To share these perspectives with others, I create paintings, sculptures, animations, poetry, and performances.
The use of my imagination, natural sciences, and historical knowledge stems from the need to resist the societal notion of separation from nature and the many fellow human beings classified as "other" due to the colonial ideological legacy in terms of race and gender.
