Statement
My works are related to nature in several ways: I use natural materials as I find them in outdoor places, such as plants, wood, seeds, fruits, earth and clay with traces of erosion by sun, water, wind, fire or with traces of human use.
In contrast I also use artificial material such as polyurethan foam, mirrors or aluminum foil.
My work deals with basic experiences concerning nature: to grow, to be, to vanish.
