I am architectural designer and artist, educated at Konstfack Stockholm and HFBK Hamburg.
Working at the intersection of art and architecture, I explore experimental, often collaborative processes to create architectural installations that critically engage with spatial narratives and the values they embody. My projects always begin with what is already there - the histories, objects, and materials that define a context. Through acts of reconfiguration - reusing, rearranging, and reinterpreting - I seek to challenge the familiar, opening up new ways of seeing, relating, and interacting.
