My work explores notions of scientific experimentation and nature’s reaction to our endless desire to control and manipulate natural processes. I am very interested in the idea of waste resulting from these actions, in imagining what happens when an experiment goes wrong. What would we do with a batch of lab-made humanoid organs that don’t function properly or with strange alien mutations that flee the laboratory and are forced to inhabit the world?

The “Animated Forest Series”, where painted abstract elements mingle with collaged depictions of body parts, develops a specific narrative. These “beings” of an unknown species adapt to a new environment and organize for survival.
