My work is inspired by  Loss and Mourning. Loss is an interesting subject as the concept of death itself is a wide phenomenon. Everyday we risk losing touch with our values, history and memories with the constant change and new birth that happens in life. As apparent as this is, we rarely get to spare time to grieve for the things that are gone. 

There is a certain kind of melancholy and beauty within loss. It is an event that we accept without question as we see it occur in nature. At a safe distance, it can even be poetic. However, as loss becomes more personal , the idea of not-existing becomes harder to bear and reason for caution.

'The Speech of Loss'  is an attempt to explore a visual language of an aesthetic of loss and mourning. I create personal objects of grief inspired by natural and industrial everyday elements, brought together in order to find a place between being and not being.
