Statement

My artistic practice is centered on ceramics as a medium closely connected to the body, and on exploring the relationship between the individual and the collective. In my work, I also engage with pairs of states that may seem opposed, yet coexist: protection and vulnerability, the sacred and the everyday, decoration and performativity.

For me, ceramics is not only a material, but also a form of bodily presence. I use it in wearable objects, including the series "Armor", and combine it with photographic images of the human body, especially eyes. In this way, ceramics moves beyond the utilitarian or decorative and becomes part of a space where it interacts with the body and acquires the force of a statement.

One of the key themes in my practice is the transition from the individual to the collective: how multiple singular trajectories form a collective without erasing the uniqueness of each. I am interested in the moment when personal experience becomes part of something shared, while retaining its own trace and at the same time shaping something larger.

These questions are developed further in specific works. In "Cherubim Panopticum", a sacred image is joined with the physical trace of many people. In the series "Armor", fragile porcelain calls the very idea of protection into question while preserving symbolic and ritual power.
