“The material textile is essential in my works. Textile reveals emotions which are strongly connected to my own life and the human body itself. In my pieces I use textile in a direct way or I communicate the idea of its versatile language throughout another material.”
This feminine material which carries feelings of security is strongly alive.
When it comes in relation to the human body they affect themselves and are shaped by this interrelation. Textile and metal folds which are draped around our body express and shape our inner surface.
“These folds communicate the inner strength of a person. They turn the human body around to emphasis their inside.”
