EXHIBITIONS

In my practice, I explore the mutual influence of humans and the world around them. Everything natural has its own emotions, and I want to understand what the emotions of the forest near my home are and whether these emotions are just a transfer of my feelings to this object. A person can draw out their deepest feelings, and possibly get something unpleasant and unattractive, by reflecting on the nature around them. I observe and study these processes, depicting the reality around me.
Lately, I have been interested in the influence of social media on human perception. How our view of the natural world is changing, being reshaped by social media.
