My practice, as a lens-based media artist, is based on the exploration of the creative process, how this is affected by cultural identity, memories and influences from different cultures and how these factors can affect and transform our perception of the environment. More specifically, I am interested in how notions we have about another country can trigger and develop imagination, desire and escapism.
Through the relationship between humans and the environment, my practice investigates how these notions can be visually translated into a work of art, that echoes a place or a visual aesthetic, letting the interpretation or misinterpretation become an act of imagination. Also, this shows how fantasy is based on our perception and our memories and not on the actual experience of that geographical place and culture.
