Empathy: a sense of similarity in feelings experienced by the self and the other, without confusion between the two.

I am fascinated by the expression of inner states, how they are conveyed visually and how the spectator reacts to these representations.

In my practice I analyse the face, the body and the beholder as ciphers for emotion. I concentrate on the self, the other and what brings them together yet inevitably separates them – empathy.
