Artist Statement

The idea of the show is about my personal experience. Lockdown gives us the feeling of loneliness and abandonment. “The Personal is Collective” is about something that I do personally and came up to participate in a larger experience. We cannot do personal work without affecting the collective unconscious of others.

Self-acknowledgement is my lifelong quest of this experience as a woman and as an artist. Inner work is not selfish, it makes you whole and feeling complete.
