”I’m interested in certain materials or techniques, such as three-dimensional structures with a simple geometrical basis. I’ve explored the stackability and connectability of parts, the flexibility of different materials, and the functionality and durability of anticlastic and honeycomb-shaped structures. My work is visibly guided by my observations about the consistency in manmade and natural forms."
