My work revolves around the complexities of collective memory and historical narratives, often rooted in the turbulent socio-political landscapes of Eastern Europe. I use painting, photography, digital collage, and installation to engage with themes of dictatorship, religion, loss, and disappearance. Through these mediums, I explore the ways in which power, ideology, and history imprint themselves on individual and collective consciousness. By juxtaposing the past and present, I seek to provoke reflection on the fragility of identity and the forces that shape our understanding of reality, memory, and death.
