Both in the watercolors and in the sculptures, I try to link my interest in human body
anthropomorphized, with the visual worlds of the social- media platforms.
I take motifs I find that focus on staging and revealing the subject’s own body and address the publication of private images in a playful or provocative way. The rapid change of images and the fleeting gaze while browsing the platform are interrupted while I create them. My goal is less to create a new picture, but rather an act of interpreting and feeling my way through the pictures, exploring an approach to longing, desire, voyeurism, and the dramatic flood of images.
