By-product and Wiederholung (2016)
Video triptych filmed in the Black Forest, Germany
Created during the Cambridge Sustainability Residency – Periférica
The works emerged from a period of reflection on sustainability, environment, and artistic responsibility. Both pieces observe the subtle ways in which human care coexists with harm — how unintentional actions, even those driven by attention or love, may lead to forms of self-destruction.
Filmed amid the quiet density of the Black Forest, the videos unfold as meditations on repetition and consequence. The gestures are minimal yet persistent, echoing ecological cycles of creation and decay. In this dialogue between care and neglect, By-product and Wiederholung ask what remains after our attempts to sustain the world — and how awareness might transform the residues we leave behind.

Despite navigating one of the most challenging periorsds of my life, I am proudly greatful to embrace art both as a refuge and a force of transformation.
This residency marks a deeply personal chapter - an exploration of resilience, where performance, movement, and sculptural forms become a vessel for healing and renewal, this new periord seeks to embody the tension
between fragility and strenght, creating work that with the complexities of being human. Art, in its purest form, is my way of finding equilibrium amid chaos.
