The notion of breaking simple rules is always running in my head. My work plays with visual aspects and materials used in ways they were not meant for, in a non-traditional way. I play with recognizable images, and change them or place them in unusual settings to create juxtaposition. The idea is to trick the viewer’s eye by presenting different recognizable elements, which are contradicted either by setting, balance, compositions, material or placement.
