I consider my current work as an open project, which grows parallel to an everyday creative activity and is based on lived experience.

I like to study the intimate relationships between couples, friends, and family. These microcosoms that function independently and separately from each other, and consequently are seen differently from how they function. Moreover, I am interested in how our own personalities are molded based on these relationships, and how different facets of our personality develop in response to the company we keep.

I am also very interested in our idea of identity and our obsessions, especially in the midst of the ongoing technological/information revolution, where new platforms for communication have been created. How the advent of social networking has allowed us to reinvent ourselves. How we can create a character, not necessarily based on our image, but based on our idea of how we want ourselves to appear.

Another phenomenon I am drawn to is the "media-tization" of ourselves, and how this custom is becoming more and more ingrained in our culture. How the line separating our public and private lives is becoming less and less evident, and how at times these two aspects of our lives have started to overlap; consequently negating our need for introspection, redefining our identity yet again.

Intimacy is an important part of who we are, but nowadays, we apparently must show it to confirm we exist.

From this standpoint, I cast myself as the protagonist and present another "real" case of need for hearing. In the same manner, and with a twist of irony, I place myself into this world of celebrity and fame, searching for my own myth. Through my images, I write my autobiography, playing with stereotypes, symbolism, glamour and anti-glamour.
