STATEMENT
I’ve been curious in biology books and natural patterns since child. Where the systems of human body and development of microorganisms shapes molded my perception.
I began to explore organic materials and microorganisms as a medium of philosophical practice. In that process, I discovered patterns and natural transformation processes, where growth and decay of this organisms recreate a life- death process. In this interactions I can reflect about Human intimacy.
