Between Heaven and Earth ('25 - now)
​I seek the threshold between mind and spirit, body and transcendence, between heaven and earth.
[Re]Present '25 Artfair Installation and performance​
​​
Some time ago, I found a cabinet at the furniture dump near my house. I was drawn to it - as a connection between inside and outside, darkness and light, a place to hide. I decided to paint it into an angel cabinet, a space where I could perform: an angel falling out of the closet, just as Icarus once fell. It felt good to give the performative side of my practice some more room during the fair.
Incognito Art Exhibition '25 Installation
“In certain bright instants the body thins and the world pours in: muscles slacken, thought loosens its seams, and presence becomes a hovering lightness… We slip out of habit’s heavy skin and find ourselves distributed — in leaves, in light on a table, in the hum between heartbeats.”
My latest work Doorway to Light echoes this beautiful line by Virginia Woolf (The Waves, 1931).
​
Visitors are invited to peek through a small hole into a performative video projection of my transcending body. The work explores presence, embodiment, and the subtle shifts where the self becomes porous.
