Artist Statement

It is said that music rouses the soul and can bring forth worlds beyond our imagination.

Using music as an inspirational basis, my works focus on creating conceptual narratives that stem from imagination yet attempt to stay within a sort of fictional realism. These narratives explore different aspects of human emotions and feelings, ranging from grief to nostalgia. Just like in movies and tv shows, my works cross into the depths of fantasy like scenarios that seem feasibly possible if not entirely fictional. To dive into a world that is filled with realism and fantasy is not necessarily an escape, it is a wish. A wish that this dream were real.
