For me, collage is a way to reassemble myself and the world around me, to carve out new paths within the familiar, turning scattered fragments into wholeness. It entered my life at a time when reality felt fractured and became more than just a creative process—it became a thread to hold onto, a way to keep hope from slipping away. Through it, I’ve found a new lens, one that allows me to see the familiar differently, to notice hidden connections, to weave chaos into something whole. It has given me a new way to breathe, to find beauty where I once saw only broken pieces.
My works go beyond traditional flat images, building on a fusion of textures, depth, and multidimensionality. They interweave my experience in fashion design and material craftsmanship. Collage becomes a way to speak about beauty and complex, sometimes uncomfortable topics, giving them visual form and creating space for new perspectives. It is a process where chaos and order find balance, the past is reshaped into something new, and randomness becomes part of the structure.
