Artist’s Statement:

Change is a function of time. All entities, once beautiful and flawless, will eventually fade into nothing, and manifestations of time will appear and grow on their bodies. They emerge ever more clearly on bodies filled with the force of life. Flowers perfectly resemble such transformations, as they quickly diminish in front of our eyes. They simultaneously portray ideas such as life, death, utopia, and dystopia, implying notions like cherishing true beauty, passion, living in the moment, repetition and the ephemerality of time, loss of things, objects, people, and time, and the importance of memory. The central installation, “Dictated Sleeps, Indefinite Sites, Ornamental Tokens”, denotes an exploration of history, commemorating lost lives like a flower on an unidentified gravestone.
