Love and politics. Each is my subject, each my way of being, my way of working. My work is grounded in the fields of art and politics. I normally try to create spaces to feel; where I try to use the sense of time, of spending time, that people can experience and feel. A place where people can engage, a place where there are no boundaries between people; where there is no boundary between love and politics. Still with the dream that one day, we will realize the world is too small. It is through the mediums I use, drawings, animation and sculpture, that love and politics come together. It is through who I am. How I love people and what people feel, how I love to feel things - the shivers that run down my spine -how I love to cry when I see‌ When I am in beautiful places, when the light is beautiful, when it's hot; it is through how I love real hugs, how I play, how I use my hands, how I do without fearing mistakes. I love mistakes. I love working with mistakes, dragging them out, cutting up, glue it, rip it and then glue it back again, that I can look forward to continue asking: How can I transform the issue I am working on - human rights, people, and feelings, into an object of art?
