A scale down universe. My work mulls over the every day things, traveling through reality and reinventing it. Intimate pieces of work reflecting on circumstances of what has been lived and what has been left behind, showing story tales, unnoticed common places and characters that had a place in time but no longer exist. These are testimonial pieces of work of a world secreted, whereby recognition becomes unfeasible. It is a transgression of social rules, a reflection on anonymous (unnamed) and disappearance.
