“My inspiration comes from my surroundings and history. The artifacts are valuable because they depict your daily routine and way of life. I still think history and modern life are important. My work also explores the relationship between humans and objects. The main idea behind my work is the use of different materials and objects to create new viewpoints and stories while also archiving time history and contemporary life, and also to understand the materiality. The objects in my work function symbolically. I urge readers to read it, take it in, and understand the concepts it presents.”
