Besides my passion for making things myself, I find it important to collaborate with other artists or with my pupils. Recently I have been dedicated to redefine maker education for students with special needs. However, my intrinsic urge to create art has led me back to my studio. From this vantage point, I blend my artistic pursuits with coaching young individuals with autism.

I value the concept of a "network". It serves as both a structure and a method of exploration for me as an artist. Through collaborations with others like schools, cultural institutions, and fellow artists, I create a dynamic cultural web where I mediate through aesthetics and digital interactivity, involving others. I aim to unlock culture through concepts, conversations, and aesthetics while using my visual language (drawings, paintings, and glasswork) to refine and deploy it when suitable. My work acts as a bridge, connecting aesthetics and individuality with interactivity and communication.
