• I aim to stay between art and design.

  I try to create a conceptual art piece as a practical design object that touches a hidden emotion inside us. Things will be alive in my projects.

  I believe that we all have the right to enjoy art, not only in museums but also at home as part of daily life, as a helpful or affective thing.

  To achieve this I brought technical aspects into my work, and this combination of art and technology helps to realise the concept and become nature, beautifully.
