“My work explores the themes of doubt, fears and memory through personal experience and inner world. I am convinced that doubts and fears play a significant role in our lives, they shape our thoughts, decisions and actions. My work aims to explore these emotions and their influence on our behavior. Through the use of various techniques and materials, I aim to evoke an emotional response in the viewer and provoke reflection on my own doubts and fears. My work also addresses the theme of memory and its impact on our perception of the past and present, for example after the death of loved ones, or an uncertain home. Through my works, I encourage the viewer to reflect on how our own doubts and fears can affect our lives and how we can keep our memory alive to overcome these emotions and develop ourselves as individuals.”
