// How would you describe your artistic practice?
It is a way for me to record things. It’s like a diary, but more comprehensive. It organizes my thoughts and state of mind at that moment into an archive that I can easily look back on.
// Which moment of the creative process do you enjoy the most?
When you find connections within a pile of scattered pieces and physically grasp the abstract ideas in my mind.
// How do you know when a work is finished?
Usually, it’s the deadlines. I think when the project has been seen is the moment, but I’m not sure if it is the right moment or not.
// What conversations do you hope your work will start?
I actually appreciate the quiet yet uncertain moment before a conversation begins.
// Can you describe a personal experience that made you think about entanglement?
Deutsche Bahn.
// What would you like people to take away after seeing your work?
A feeling that doesn’t need to be explained or fully understood, but leaves a trace there.
