My practice examines the concept of cultural identity, integration, and displacement through photography, screen printing, laser cutting and different forms of photographic printing processes including cyanotype and lumen print. 

I combine memories and everyday surroundings to tell a story and rely on my conscious and unconscious to invent and transfer those thoughts to an image. My creative work started with a tent as a representation of the nomad life experienced as a child. During the process I opened myself to chance and embraced the textures of nature into my practise. I also transformed and simplified the details and shapes to make it look more nonrepresentational, as if thoughts and ideas wandered into an abstract concept. During the process I experimented with colours and the positioning of the shapes that were mainly triangular figures symbolising the form of a tent, on its own or combined with natural organic forms. A state of life in all its characteristics.
