About the artist / Artist's Statement
I am interested in glass, mirrors and other reflective surfaces as my art material. In recent works, I move further to include the use of surveillance cameras and mirrors in my interactive installations. With my work, I am exploring the notions of “who is looking at who” and public & private space.
