I am a Helsinki-based media artist. A central, underlying theme in my practice is binary oppositions. My works are often an attempt to imagine what kind of a worldview might emerge if the structures of binary opposites that worldviews are built up upon, were dismantled. As a result, my works often focus on examining the structures that help maintain the binary opposites. I hold a Master of Arts degree (2016), and I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Arts at Aalto University. My works are included, among others, in the collections of HAM and the Finnish State Art Commission.
