'All my soul searching leads me to the same end, one word: urgency.The urgency for me to express my thoughts and ideas through video and body.

Through these mediums I try to be the vehicle for emotions, to bring the spectator to a destination I prearrange, filtered by their own experiences of life.

My artwork takes a critical view of social, political and cultural issues, it pretends to be a sublimation of the weaknesses of contemporary man, of his fears, of his intimate obsessions.
