Northern nature has always been more than a background to me — it has been an independent presence. Folk traditions, stories, and mythology have shaped the way I understand images, and these influences continue to live within my artistic language.
For me, folk art is a living language that continues to evolve. Rather than reproducing tradition, I carry it forward, creating new forms at the intersection of memory, nature, and personal experience.
In my work, humans, animals, and plants intertwine, transforming into fantastical forms of life. These figures exist between reality and imagination, where the boundaries between human and nature remain open and constantly shifting.
Materiality and handcraft are essential parts of my practice. Regardless of the medium, I am drawn to the ability of materials to hold memory and create a connection between the past and the present.
