Lives and works in Lausanne (CH)

Coming from the field of architecture, I developed a specific interest in views and perceptions on spaces and materiality amoung us. Especially the way things are attached to memories and histories, adding how objects and subjects deal with their environment. My practice also intends to question the memory in large meaning related to culture, from its understandings to its relationships. By connecting borders and emotions, the question of identity is more and more present. I approach these subjects through a mix of personal experiences and researches.
