My view of the world as a child and my desire to ‘make alive’ my toys and to energize them have greatly influenced my life path in a creative and professional sense, in an environment that includes sound, image, moving image, which together form this seemingly childish interactive game. I thought that my toys were a part of the reality of every childhood and I wanted them to become as real as the desire to stay young forever. Of course, the toys remained toys, and the strength remained in me and that part of the child which, I believe, is always there in all of us, whole the time.
Life, experience and work are responsible for our existence. Desires, vision and ideas are there to guide us. We accumulate that energy, mainly ourselves аnd with a higher being, and we have it as much as we think we have it.
Time and space, and their intricate interplay, constitute the heart of my creative expedition. Dancing within the domain of modern and augmented media, I grants myself the liberty to play with these concepts, occasionally wandering through alternate times and realms, and returning, thereby intensifying the present moment. This approach could most clearly be experienced in my previous work.
