In my practice I often use humor and familiar tropes to communicate on topics intertwined with high pressure contemporary culture anxieties such as wellness, environmental anxieties, wage making, mental health and womanhood; often falling back on the critique of false care system we are told is in place. One could say that the topics of my interest are quite mundane and I wouldn't necessarily disagree; it is a constant struggle balancing collective vs. individual responsibility, effort, history, future, shame, grief, love and trauma. Navigating through the delicate social web of norms, performativities, identities, roles and constructs is a full time job on its own. I feel my role is often to state the obvious and paint the elephant pink, maybe even to resource to a form of exposure therapy or a really bad simulation. Im hoping to trick into discourse political questions and conversations under the guise of my campy, flower printed Trojan horse. 

‘’Im attracted to objects and tool of complete disfunction, I believe there is much dysfunctionality surrounding us, in personal relationships, in relationship to the work we are doing to survive or systemic dysfunctionality, which can be presented through a state or another bureaucratic apparatus. We often cannot really make change individually but we can find coping mechanism on a personal level which are some tools, like meditation, drugs, or going for a walk or shopping. But these are all very individualistic approaches to handling existing problems or pressing issues, which can be solved only through collective efforts. Sometimes, in order to be able to reach the point of working on a goal collectively, we first need to reach the point of optimal functionality though some personal coping mechanism. ‘’
