My work evolves ideas of individual and social positions, states of human being, personal histories and identity. I use different media to develop my projects, often starting with drawings as mental maps for the idea. My recent works can be read as multilayered installations, including different segments and media such as light projections, objects, photography, video and drawing.

In some of the recent projects I have been exploring nature and biological organisms in relation to artificial constructs, or how this symbiosis is manifested and can be looked at. For example, for the installation Formication (collaboration with Miha Presker), I have included a real ant colony into the project. The concept deals with meaning and function of an individual (biological organism) in the sociological system of constant progress. It shows how even the seemingly well structured sociological systems can become fragile and mutable, through real, unpredictable interventions.

The most recent installation "Shift "applies the idea of the architectural form being a carrier of (personal) history. It questions the value systems within our society and individual positions in it. I created a real size model of a fireplace. In the second part of the installation, I reversed the shell of the inner fireplace space, the void, creating an individual abstract object and positioning it on a floor in front of the real scale model. The idea was to multiply this reverse abstract fireplace form many times, with slight differences, pointing out the modifications of ones identity through displacement. It refers to the position of an individual within society and its connection to his origin. It divides the object into an internal and external body, and by this, refers to the general alienation of the individual from the Self.
