« Autonomous artefacts, absurd machines, synthetic organisms.

The mechanised desire. The machine that doesn’t hold a functional

but an imaginary role in our lives. My work seeks encounters at the

interstices of the shifting realms of nature and technology. Through

the development of autonomous sculptural installations, my practice

takes a critical distance from the western conception of nature and crafts alternative narratives to redefine our relationship with the environment »
