Artist's Statement

My work process is tightly integrated with the use of various technologies, from using analogue motors that directly creates sound to digital audio synthesis. I am heavily involved in the technical aspects of my work because it helps me to think and understand more.

My work seeks to bring sound to the foreground, as a reaction towards the role of sound in contemporary cultures, and attempts to combine it with the visual in a sculptural way. My process often explores the physical phenomenon of sound in various ways that employs a multitude of simple mechanisms, resulting in a complex soundscape.
