ARTIST STATEMENT
The concept of "diary writing" is at the heart of my artistic practice. The main subjects I work with are time, memory, and documentation of everyday life. In my works, I capture everyday life, as if trying to stop the passage of time. Sometimes I do it directly.: I collect collections or individual artifacts, make endless lists, or measure the duration of a process with my work. And sometimes I do it more poetically, using my poems in my works. For example, I create works at the intersection of modern art and concrete poetry.

Also, one of my favorite topics is the theme of error and dysfunction, or "art as a game." For these works, I often borrow materials from everyday life. I'm "reassembling" them in a new order, or using them for other purposes.
The experience of motherhood had a strong influence on my artistic practice – I am a mother with many children. Therefore, I also work with the problems of the work of a female artist. The materials I use in these works are borrowed from traditional women's practices such as sewing, needlework, knitting, embroidery, baking, creating home albums, etc. This allows me to convey the shimmer of my two identities: the artist and the housewife.

The main mediums I work with are graphics, embroidery, textile sculptures, and found objects.
