Evolved from painting, recently my works have been presented by installation and site-specific projects. They are derived from simple materials, changing over time in quality and visuals, eventually unrecognizable. My works interacts with environments and perception. They are intended to create a lyrical moment connected to the material, object state and space. My projects are aimed to achieve the precise balance between form and materials.

Nyctophobia The work Nyctophobia I realized in 2017 which chronicles the transformation of humidity. The white material which composes the work is a chemical substance that changes state with moisture, from solid to liquid, such as to make visible a phenomenon that is always present in the environment. The title of this work is a psychopathological disorder that literally means "fear of the dark, through the white chemical being disappeared by time, human perception, the vision ( white colour ) and the touch ( humidity ), with the unexplainable sense of fear, all of this elements give the implication of human body how to deal with the environment.

Myopia During the 1 mouth studio in Turin, Italy. I ve worked this project Myopia. Every day I followed a language textbook that I found inadvertently, the book title is 30 days to a more powerful vocabulary, and I modified it became 30 days to be more powerful Following the time I copied it page by page with the carbon paper. The installation of this work set in a high position, that the average human vision couldn t be able to read, Through this work I want to raise a question of the authority of communication and knowledge.
