Artist statement
The main focus in my work is how we relate to the society and adjust to new conditions. It could be a physical process as well as a mental progress, a change of opinion or mindset.

The basic premises of my work, as well as a strategy, is an examination of moving images. My work is usually presented as screenings or video / animation / drawing and sound installations. In general, the installations are based on re-interpreted situations from “everyday life”. Seemingly trivial happenings or situations are investigated, and through the process of drawing, the footage is given a different appearance and meaning.
