“During a stay in Sapporo and Tokyo, I've started to research ways to expand my field of work. To go beyond the urban landscape and to add a human element to my artworks.

For that I've defined a simple process. To interview a person and from that to create an artwork that would reflect their features and personality and also the location where that conversation took place.

A portrait from a specific moment in Tokyo.
Still a work in progress but definitely a step in a new direction.”
