Drawing as a research and interior connection tool. As a testimony of what surrounds me and how we interpret it.
I’m interested in human relations. The interaction between people. Why do some perform as leaders and others as passive spectators. Why do we react as we do in different situations. How does our childhood influence us, our education, our environment, our character, our daily life.
As a woman, I’ve also tried to submerge myself in some aspects throughout a process of personal investigation: sentimental relationships, family interactions, friendships, work, power relations, faults and guilts, own and alien, dragged by our capability to modify it, to enrich it, to destroy it…
Identity, solitude, research, essence, connection, strangeness, group membership, the passage of time, memory, humour, beauty, nature.
