"Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes all the same

And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same"

The Black Box, 2023

Fragmented realities sewn into one. We’re only ever peeking into the lives of others and as their existence extends beyond our reach, we take the role of an artist. The goal may be likeness but even in mental portraits, some angles remain hidden.

Puolikielinen (semi lingual. lit. translation from Finnish: Half tongued), 2022 is an interactive salt dough sculpture exhibited in a group show titled Fragments of Human at the IMT gallery in London.
