Usually I choose photography for my creations, because thats the most direct type to express myself. I’m making also experiments with medium, painting, montage, etc. My main theme are women, bodies, and the effect of the media in the society, bodies of women in some cultures. I think it’s important to care with women body in arts. There’s a very big burden on them because of the media. It’s hard to assume their own bodies, when they always see perfect bodies on posters, on television, etc. I would like to solve this problem, or do something for them at least, to not feel themselves, women, absence of self-confidence, to not be inhibited.
