The complexity of people's behaviour has always intrigued me, and inspired visually to express the range of emotions we see in the human conditions.
In my works I aim to refer to human state and emotions - apathy, trouble, happiness or motivations. Sometimes in solitude, other times with others, we can feel stronger and experience respect when linked with environment and beauty we create.
"Chaos" talk about pandemonium in us and around us which we need to rethink and consider good health and wellbeing.
Sculpture "Chaos" address that and shows how we can coexist and make partnerships.
