“Resistance is one of the central subjects I have been focusing on. So I have somehow an interest on resistance, there is an interest in analysis and critique of the existing system and there is an interest in the alternatives to the existing. And this three main focuses continuously combine and connect within my artistic practice over the last ten years.“
