Concept
Currently inspired by lessons learned in surfing, she works on developing abstract sculptures and wall pieces on movement and speed. Comical names as Wakame Rider or Longboard boogie, gives a light-hearted impression, but we all know how merciless the ocean can be.
Human against nature is a new satirical theme, telling the story about human struggle to find balance and clarity if only just for a short ride.
