  • The artist about her practice:

“I don’t choose what to do, I don’t know if this is my work. I would never take on some topics, but they persistently slip them on me. I have to do it, and you sit, do it, you don’t ask questions. order, only an inner need. It's just a piece of empty space comes, it can't be restored, but it needs to be filled in. And it's impossible to do something special with my techniques. The work is completely different, by the hand of one person. It depends on the flow of energy that passes through me. And I don’t choose the topic for myself, it falls down and some kind of meaning comes out of it.
