‘For me, belonging is a complex and fluid concept. It is not just about physical places but also about emotional and intellectual connections. Through my work, I seek to explore these dynamics, questioning the idea of identity and how we position ourselves in the world. I aim to transcend the objectivity of the visible, creating alternative worlds that reflect human aspirations toward the future and technology. Through photography, video and digital painting, I offer new perspectives and scenarios that invite viewers to reflect on the intersections between humanity and technology. 

The theme of environmental and climate change is particularly close to my heart – I come from a highly polluted city and have always been interested in representing landscapes and nature. Metamorphosis reflects on a historical phase of transformation that affects both humanity and nature. The work explores how our perception of the environment is changing, inviting a renewed connection with the natural world.’
