Statement: 

I am an intermedia artist. I express myself through installation, object, collage, and most importantly, photography. I draw from the experience of documentary photography, often blurring the line between documentary and contemporary art. I enjoy combining multiple media in one project and their interaction. The results of this process are important and interesting to me. In my work, I primarily start from myself, my background, and my experience. I am not interested in distinguishing whether something is a personal subject or a public issue. I am concerned with the impact of social phenomena and various psychological patterns on an individual and their perception. I particularly work with themes of self-identity, family, and the sense of self through family, the roles of men and women in marriage, relationships, and society. I often use portrait and self-portrait. I am also interested in people’s attitudes toward weapons.
