'The themes of my work are the way I perceive reality, the exploration of boundaries and their transgression - deformation and formation, search and loss, finding again under new conditions. They are a reaction to a constantly changing reality. Views must always be readjusted. Each image becomes its own process, in a certain period of time, and in its own materiality.'
